Poetry Style:
- 1 or more verses
- 6 lines per verse
- 5 beats/syllables per line
Poetry Rules:
- title should contain the word ‘tableau’
- poem should aim to be pictorial

Hint: Its optional but you could let your tableau reference the poet Sam Hamill, a poem of his, or his style of poetry.

Maple Tableau
Watching maple leaves
Green starts fading out
Red starts in the veins
As sugar is trapped
Bright colors emerge
Covering the leaf.

Pictorial, poetic and botanical all at once! (I mean ‘pictorial’ in the descriptive words, though it’s nice to have the photo too.)
