WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a 4-stanza poem, using the word ‘stretch’ in each stanza.
Perhaps you could use the repetition to shift the meaning of the word each time it is used, or to emphasise a theme.
Home Stretch
Toddlers wanting snacks to eat
Stretch on tippy toes to reach the cupboard
School kids wanting to impress their teacher
Stretch their arm up high to be called on
Young adults wanting to impress each other
Stretch the truth about their accomplishments
Adults paying for lifestyle, children, college,
stretch their income for survival
