Kennings

Kennings have their origin in Anglo-Saxon Old English poetry. A kenning is a literary device in which you use two words or a compound word in a new way to describe a noun, such as "sword bearer" for warrior

You can make puzzle poems by using several kennings to describe the same thing. Lots of Kids on the Net writers and schools have tried it:

 Exeter Kennings

 Lydney Kennings

 Aquatic Kennings

Limericks

Limericks are always fun to read and write. Whether you follow the strict rule or are a bit creative, the important thing is that they're absurd or funny.
