2. I Can’t Write a Poem Forget it! You must be kidding!
I don’t have a pencil,
I never had Poetry Club before,
My hands are tired,
I’m too frustrated,
My head hurts,
I have to go to the bathroom,
I don’t know how to type,
I have to leave and my nose is bleeding, too,
Times up? Uh oh!
All I have is a dumb list of excuses.
You like it? Really? No kidding.
Thanks a lot. Would you like to see another one?

3. I Am Poem I am brave and funny
I wonder if people like me and if I am smart
I hear songs in my head and I hear birds
I see pigs in a farm and I see people on a horse
I want a pig and 100,000 bucks ,IPHONE5,
I pretend I am a pig and I pretend I am flying
I feel happy and proud
I touch my hair and my book bag
I worry that I have no friends and if I died
I cry when I don’t get what I want and I am hurt

4. I Am Poem (cont’d) I understand when someone cries
I say hi to all the people I know and I say hi to my family
I dream that I have an IPHONE5
I try hard in school and at home
I hope I get a IPHONE5
I am good at softball and basket ball

5. My Monster Poem My monster has … A body like an apple
Eyes like a pointy nose
A nose like a pig
A mouth like an orange
Legs like huge rocks
And arms like pickles

6. Monster Poem (cont’d) My monster is … My monster is called Mr.Boo
As friendly as a teddy bear
As clever as a four leaf clover
As loud as an umpire
As smelly as a cow’s barn
As frightening as a big eik
My monster is called Mr.Boo

7. Color Poetry Pink is like an adorable pig
Green is my sister’s favorite color.
Blue is like a bottomless pool
Yellow is like the glowing sun.
Red is like a crimson rose
White is like fluffy snow.
Orange like a juicy orange
Black like a fierce cat.
Brown like gooey mud
Purple like squishy grapes.
What are colors to you?

14. Keep a Poem in Your Pocket
And a picture in your head
And you’ll never feel lonely
At night when you’re in bed.
The little poem will sing to you
The little picture will bring to you
A dozen dreams to dance to you
So…
Keep a picture in your pocket
And a poem in your head
At night when you’re in bed ~by Beatrice Schenck de Regniers
