Directions: Using both the original poem (and the model provided above), create a poem that includes the following features (both of poetry and of Romanticism) below.

Your poem (in the space below) must include the following elements:
* three stanzas
* the same rhyme scheme expressed in “The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls”
* each line needs to have between 7-9 syllables
*3 stanzas
*about stars

Your poem needs to take an event in nature and romanticize it. In “The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls,” the poet romanticizes how something as simple as the tide rising and the tide falling symbolizes nature’s infinite existence in comparison to humanity’s. In the second example, the poet romanticizes a cow pooping to symbolize how seemingly incompatible elements of nature work

together in perfect harmony. For your poem, you could choose any event in nature that you find interesting or meaningful, and use it as a metaphor or symbol to explore deeper themes and ideas. Consider how you can use vivid imagery, sensory details, and figurative language to create a sense of enchantment and wonder.
