Homework Help Forum: english 7th grade

Posted by Liliane on Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 7:06pm.

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? Thank you!

  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.

  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

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

  You get the prize for the most interesting question for today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanza Basically, there are no rules, except the rhyming scheme and meter. I like that Wiki article. Good question.
