Famous Love Letters: Nathaniel Hawthorne:

Dearest, - I wish I had the gift of making rhymes, for methinks there is poetry in my head and heart since I have been in love with you. You are a Poem. Of what sort, then? Epic? Mercy on me, no! A sonnet? No; for that is too labored and artificial. You are a sort of sweet, simple, gay, pathetic ballad, which Nature is singing, sometimes with tears, sometimes with smiles, and sometimes with intermingled smiles and tears.

1. On your post-it note, quickly write a random topic…just write the first thing that comes to your mind.

2. In your group, pick one topic.

You will write a fast paced paragraph with your group. Each person will contribute with one sentence, staying on topic, using the heart saying, and figurative language on the screen. Ready, Set, Go!
