2. I Can’t Write a Poem
Forget it! You must be kidding! I don’t have a pencil, I’ve never had Poetry Club, 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, Time’s 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?

5. I Am Poem I am crazy and athletic I wonder what other people think
I hear laughing
I see rainbows
I want to see Hawaii
I pretend to teach
I feel astonished
I touch silky things
I worry that I might break a leg
I cry when I get hurt

6. I Am Poem (cont’d) I understand rules I say Santa is real
I dream I have a mansion
I try to have good grades
I hope to be happy
I am crazy and athletic

7. My Monster Poem My monster is called Lilly O' Stein by Caty Clark
My monster has a body like round mints
Eyes like squishy orange candy
A nose like colorful lollipops
A mouth like sugary gumdrops
Legs like skinny candy canes
And arms like yummy peppermint sticks

8. Monster Poem (cont’d) My monster is as friendly as pleasant animals
As clever as an Iphone 5
As loud as gigantic horns
As smelly as stinky sour milk
And as frightening as great lightning
My monster Lilly O' Stein
The End

And had to take some pills

14. BEFORE THE RACE Favorite Poems of Mine Mr. Flack tells his son Jack
“Run hard with no excuses.”
Mr.Brill tells son Will
He’ll kill him if he loses.
Mr.Drew tells little Lou
“Be fearless but beware.”
And little Trace won the race
(His father wasn’t there.)

15. 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
