  6. Similes A simile makes a comparison between two unlike things, using the words ‘like’, ‘as’ or ‘than’.

  7. Metaphors The metaphor takes us one step further than the simile. Instead of asking us to picture one thing being like another, we are asked to picture one thing as being another. • Her eyes are pools of light • The hose is a green snake on the lawn Try to write twoof your own!!

  11. In Flanders fields John McCrae (1872–1918) In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place: and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.

  12. For the Fallen With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,England mourns for her dead across the sea.Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of spirit,Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royalSings sorrow up into immortal spheres.There is music in the midst of desolationAnd a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young,Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,They fell with their faces to the foe.

  13. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morningWe will remember them. They mingle not with laughing comrades again;They sit no more at familiar tables of home;They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;They sleep beyond England’s foam.

  14. But where our desires are and our hopes profound,Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,To the innermost heart of their own land they are knownAs the stars are known to the Night; As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,To the end, to the end, they remain.

  15. Group Discussion Questions 1. Choose 2 images from the poem. What emotions do they create? 2. What is the rhyming pattern of the poem? How does this affect the poem and how you read it? Does it sound like a drum? Does it make the pace faster or slower? 3. What is the rhythm? How many syllables in the lines? Is there a pattern? 4. What symbols are used?
