I have to write a poem about a memory and it says include a sentence of a question or feeling you had at that time and i don't quite get that. Also i just forgot what a stanza(spelling?) written like. Any help?

Question

Thank you!

Answer 1

It's asking you to have one sentence expressing a feeling or question you had at the time you're remembering.

For instance, if I were writing about a family Thanksgiving, I might say something about the warm, affectionate feelings I had about my family.

Answer 2

Ok & I know that a stanza is a paragraph in a poem, but is there a specfic number of sentences in the stanza? I mean like what are the rules of a stanza

Answer 3

There are no rules for the length of a stanza -- unless you're writing in a strict form like a sonnet.

Basically, there are no rules, except the rhyming scheme and meter.

I like that Wiki article.

Good question.

Answer 5
