First Poems

Tiger, tiger,
where have you been?

Sleeping again
Don’t look at me

Sitting on a boat,
I’m feeling sea sick,
Captain Silly Bill comes along,
He gives me a bucket,
I throw up rainbows,
I see unikitties.

What is that?
It’s the tail of a baby leopard.
Why is it so fat?

What is that?
Ho! It’s a head of a chimpanzee.
I will call it Lee.

What is that?
Wow! A leg!
No. It was me!

She has lots of toys.
All of them are dolls.
Some of them are dolls.
When does she play?
Come on over to play.
Her name is Molly!

What shall I have for breakfast?
Shall I have some toast
or cereal? I don’t care
Breakfast makes people happy
any time
night or day
Any time you can have it
Lashings of cold milk.
Nice things.
What are you having for breakfast ?

A dog and a duck in a little puddle
They couldn’t both fit in
so they had a cuddle
The duck liked the puddle
but he didn’t like the cuddle
The dog liked the cuddle
but he didn’t like the puddle.

Hi Tylar. Your poem is a bit too much like Evie’s.

Write a list of six things about yourself. Things you like.

What you are like. What you don’t like.

Then turn it into your own poem.

Leopard leaping high and low
Cold in the winter’s even snow
Sloths swinging from bar to bar
Flying eagles swoop through the trees
Marvellous monkeys eat bananas
Later palm trees grow faster then fall to a log.

“Hi”
the lettuce said,
then “Bye”.

And he even said,
“Look Out Cow!”
And a cow landed
on his head.

Whilst another lettuce said,
“Look Out Pig!”

and a chicken
landed on his head.

That’s a very odd poem, Archie – RS
