Recipe Poems

Recipe or poem? Emily Dickinson’s recipe for “Cocoa Nut” cake. 445B: courtesy of Amherst College Archives and Special Collections by permission of the Trustees of Amherst College.

To Make a Prairie 

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, 

One clover, and a bee. 

And revery. 

The revery alone will do, 

If bees are few.

Today, you'll use Emily Dickinson's poem as a model for your own recipe poem about a body of water.  Click here and follow the directions for writing a recipe poem.
