We are working with poetry in Reading Workshop. We have focused on free verse poems, and a few concrete poems, but sometimes it is fun to write a rhyming poem. A great tool for this is at Rhymezone.
Pick a topic and see what you can do. Write something that makes the reader laugh, or cry, or both.
I knew from the first day,
these students were weird.
they definitely needed steered
But partway through the year,
It was worse than it appeared.
I wasn't sure what to do,
Their brains had been cleared.
And partway through the year,
No senses had reappeared.
I gave them good advise,
I gave them good advise,
because I knew they needed steered.
But partway through the year,
their brains were still smeared.
It could be the teacher,
at first I feared.
But partway through the year,
His efforts should be cheered!
Have a nice day students! You don't like my poem? Well show me what you can do!
