For example, a two voice poem about a snow day:
Narrator 1:
The snow is falling
So peaceful and white
It’s finally here
The perfect day without a fight
Narrator 2:
I hate the snow
It’s cold and wet and gray
I have to shovel
And can’t even go out to play
Narrator 1:
I love the snowball fights
And hot cocoa by the fire
It’s a day to relax
And let go of all the desire
Narrator 2:
I’m stuck inside all day
There’s nothing I can do
I hate the snow and all its mess
I wish it would just be through
Narrator 1:
The snow is so beautiful
It covers everything in sight
It’s a day to remember
And everything feels right
Narrator 2:
I can’t stand the snow
It’s such a hassle to brave
I’m counting down the hours
Till it finally goes away
Narrator 1 and 2 (together):
Two different views
On this snowy, wintery day
Love it or hate it,
It’s snowing either way.
