The Six- Plus One Writing Traits
In a world where ideas soar high,
Thoughts bloom like a sunny sky.
Words paint a special story strand,
Written with care by the writer's hand.
Organization, like a building plan,
Arranges words for every fan.
Start, middle, and end in line,
A clear path for the tale to shine.
Voice, soft whisper or a storm's call,
Each writer's spirit, standing tall.
Feelings and tones fill every verse,
Expressing their essence, like a universe.
Word choice, a palette of many hues,
Creates pictures that deeply infuse.
Each word picked, a story's part,
Emotions painted, from the heart.
Sentence fluency, a rhythmic beat,
Words dancing in a seamless feat.
A flow like music, smooth and free,
A beautiful song for all to see.
Conventions, the rules that stand,
Spelling and grammar, lending a hand.
A sturdy frame, keeping things clear,
Making sure words appear sincere.
Presentation, the final touch,
Looks that invite, so much.
Layout and design, a visual treat,
Welcoming readers with warmth and neat.
In these traits, a writer's creed,
A beautiful craft indeed.
With each pen stroke, worlds awake,
In the writer's art, they beautifully take.

ReplyDelete"Wooooww", Rowann didn't know you had all this hidden talent in you, this was brilliant. Such a refreshing way to address the writing traits and memorable too might I add. I also noticed you integrated the sequence "AABB", a lovely touch, that caused the words to roll right off the tongue. Thumbs up for this, marvelous effort indeed :)
