Creative Writing

This week's creative writing task is to write a Kenning Poem about an animal of your choice.

What is a Kenning Poem?

Kennings are like riddles and are a type of poem.

Kennings are commonly used in poetry for effect.

They describe something without saying what it is.

Each line in a kenning poem has only two words.

These words are joined using a hyphen.

The two words are usually a noun and a verb or a noun and a noun.
