Poetry Using Metaphors
This worksheet has 3 interesting poems, all of which use metaphors in some way. I usually ask the students a few questions about the poems, and then get them to write their own. The 3 poems serve as quite useful models (especially the last one) and the students are usually able to write successfully with this input.
