POEM STARTER
Write a 'golden shovel' using a line from an existing poem that you enjoy.
A golden shovel is a poetic form in which the last word of each of your lines is taken, in order, from a line of another poem. Look at some examples and then have a go!
Jabberstock
To spot a golden tove
Out far by the sea green wabes
With sweat and dirt from the borogroves
And feet blistering from prickly mome raths
Is a special thing my son
Guide books can’t capture the toves manxome foes
Jub jubs, Bandersnatches and Jabberwocks
Their icy stares, vicious snarls, snicker-snack
Of their beating wings, so stand in thought
By the TumTum tree and take stock
Of what you see
