Think of someone famous you’d like to invite your house and write a poem asking him/her to a wonderful meal. It can be in fanciful English or just plain English.

From “Inviting a Friend to Supper”

Tonight, grave Sir, both my poor house and I

Do equally desire your company;

Not that we think us worthy such a guest…

Yet shall you have, to rectify your palate,

An olive, capers, or some better salad,

Ushering the mutton; with a short-legged hen,

If we can get her, full of eggs, and then Lemons and wine for sauce…

(Ben Jonson)

“Spring”

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring-

When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;

Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush

Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring

The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;

The glassy pear tree leaves and blooms, they brush

The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush

With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.

(Manley Hopkins)
