What is a catalog poem?Naomi Shihab Nye’s “Daily”—Pg
495◦“A catalog poem is built on a list of
images. The repetition of items in the list creates a rolling rhythm when the poem is read aloud.”—Pg 494
Writing our own catalog poems:1. Make a graphic organizer for all five senses
related to things that make you happy.1. At least 3 things for each sense
2. Select at least eight that you want to include in your poem1. At least one from each sense
3. Write each selected thing as specifically as possible1. Example: Not just “coffee” but a “grande, iced, sugar-
free, vanilla latte with soy milk from Starbucks”
4. Now organize them into a poem!1. Look back at Nye’s “Daily” for ideas—Pg 495
