Write a Christmas Poem for Church Service

Have you been chosen to write a poem for a Christmas church service? Are you struggling for ideas and imagination? If that is the case then this article is definitely for you!

Steps

 * 1) Write down a list of things you might associate with Christmas like lights, turkey and presents. However, because it is a church service, make sure to include some religious references in there and also some friendly words such as giving, family and thankfulness. After all, these are the things that are most important at Christmas time![[Image:Write a Christmas Poem for Church Service Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Look at your list and find some words that rhyme such as maybe lights and night. Pair these together so you have a list of rhyming couplets to use in your poem. Add in some other words that might go well in your poem such as day, sky, stars, here, fun and smiles.[[Image:Write a Christmas Poem for Church Service Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 3) Once you have chosen your words, start piecing them together into either sentenced rhyming couplets or where you have the last word in the first line rhyming with the last in the third line and the last in the second line rhyming with the last word in the fourth line. Make the poem relatable, heartfelt and religious all at once if you can. An example of a sentenced rhyming couplet could be something like: The colours of the Christmas lights, Oh so pretty, oh so bright. An example of the other method could be: Santa might be on his sleigh/ And presents might be here/ But remember Jesus' birth today/ And remember every year.[[Image:Write a Christmas Poem for Church Service Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 4) Once you are finished with your poem, give it to your friend or parents to check over. It is amazing how they could really help you with it so long as you ask them. They could even give you ideas on how to improve your poetry in the future if you had really enjoyed this activity![[Image:Write a Christmas Poem for Church Service Step 4.jpg|center]]
 * 5) When you read out your poetry at the church service (if it is you who reads it out), try to add in some expression to it. Read it in a loud voice so the back of the church can hear. Prepare for the audience to be memorized by your poem and be given great praise. Most of all, enjoy the experience and be proud of your poem![[Image:Write a Christmas Poem for Church Service Step 5.jpg|center]]
