Gumboots poetry
Write a poem about the trains in South Africa. Use rhyme, rhythm, and other poetic sound devices to imitate the sounds of the song and sound of the trains. However, this should not just be a collection of sounds. Create a poem that both imitates the sound AND conveys the significance and meaning of the song to the South African people.
Your poem must include:
Alliteration
Assonance
Onomatopoeia
Rhythm/ Meter
Label one example for each of these devices in your poem with colors and make a key.
