Directions: Using one of the extended metaphors you created earlier in class (or one of your own ), write a poem that extends a metaphor. Your poem must . . .  ___ Start with the metaphor (ex. First line is, Life is a __________). ___ Be at least 6 lines long (but more, if you want maximum points) ___ Have multiple extensions throughout the poem ___ Have additional lines to connect the comparisons  **the poem should not just be a list of extensions. Reread ‘Mother to Son’ for an example of how this is done You will write your poem on this doc. When you are done, you must write a brief reflection on this doc that tells me . . . .  ___ What two unlike things are being compared in your poem ___ How your extensions build upon the initial metaphor  (ex. I compare the classroom to a zoo. By saying that the zookeeper cannot keep control, I am suggesting that the teacher is having a hard time controlling the classroom).
