Trochaic tetrameter is a rapid meter of poetry consisting of four feet of trochees. A trochee is made up of one stressed syllable followed by one unstressed syllable (the opposite of an iamb). It has 8 syllables per line rather than the 10 in iambic pentameter. Here is the flow of a line of trochaic tetrameter:
BAboom / BAboom / BAboom / BAboom.
In honor of EARTH DAY, you are challenged with composing a trochee poem about a topic (s) related to Earth Day. You may work alone or with a partner and your poem should be at least 8 lines in length.
Straws will kill the environment
Don’t drink with straws, you will survive
Drink with straws, animals will die
Do your part and spread awareness
So creatures will not go extinct
If you love turtles, don’t use straws
As a country, ban straws for all
Do your part, take action, trash straws
