And... We are back!!! Let's learn about recipe poems today 😳 What are Recipe poems? —Recipe poems are a creative, instructional form of poetry that utilize the structure of a cooking recipe—title, ingredients, preparation methods, and serving instructions—to describe abstract concepts, emotions, people, or places. Now, for a better understanding, take the example of this poem. RECIPE FOR A SONG Line a cup of a nest with a pinch of twigs, and garnish with last year's grass. Add one small egg, the color of miracles. Steep in Mama Bird's dreams. When a yellow beak rises and opens wide, stuff with earthworm bits and slivered crickets. Stir in wings dipped in dawn. Pour into a bowl of sunrise, and listen for a sweet song. Makes: one robin Serves: the sky by Laura Did you enjoy that? For today's writing exercise, Write a recipe poem for anything. It could be about your first heartbreak, could be about a stone you saw lying on the ground, It could even be about cooking, though in the usual poetic language of poets. We adore your contribution.
