Who, what, when, where, why poems should be five lines long. The poem should tell a story or give a strong picture of someone or something. Each line should answer one of the "W" questions in the order listed above. When you read the poem it should sound like two sentences put together.
Example:
“Waiting”
WHO: The old man
WHAT: sat alone
WHEN: on a sunny afternoon
WHERE: on his front porch.
WHY: He was enjoying the breeze and drinking ice tea.
(By: H.Renz)
“Little Boy Waiting”
The little boy
crawled into bed
this evening
at a strange place.
He was waiting for his mother to return.
