Hi! It's Zoe. I've been writing poems for the past month to enter one in a contest. You might think that all poems rhyme, but many, called free verse, don't. Here's a few ways we can write great poems.
Sometimes poems can be descriptive and meaningful, usually these are in free verse. I've written many poems and I have picked one to show to you. Here it is.
Life
Life is the shimmer of hope,
That lives in everyone's souls,
Life is the force of peace,
That turns the Earth,
Life is the warm, gentle rays of the sun,
That wakes you from fantasy dreams,
And life encourages us to love,
And hug and kiss and smile,
And life is the reason for all our hearts to beat,
And all our brains to think,
Because life is a force that nothing can stop,
And nothing can regenerate.
But life is something you only live once,
Live it well,
Live life.
Another type of poem would be to write a silly storyline one. Have you ever read, "Where the Sidewalk Ends", by Shel Silverstien? In this book, there are many funny and witty poems. It was one of my brother's most favorite books when he was younger. I like it very much and I recommend reading it. I have written two silly poems myself. Here they are.
I'll Greet You With A Sneeze
I am sick.
So, I'll greet you with a sneeze.
Don't try to greet me first,
Don't try to shake my hand,
Don't try to shout.
No matter how much you pout,
Cause I'll greet you with a sneeze.
Don't try to say hello,
Don't try to wave,
No matter the time of day.
Cause I'll greet you with a sneeze.
So, now you know,
Better stay away,
Cause I'll greet you with a sneeze.
And you should a...a...achoooo!
Believe what I say.
Birthday Troubles
I came with a present,
I even said, "Happy Birthday!"
But still I get no cake!
Why? I"ll tell you why.
You smushed your face, yes you
Smushed your face
In that cake!
And now it's covered in FACE germs!
Ooooh, what's that?
A Pinata!
Hey! Who cares about cake?
It's candy time!
Do you know how to write a poem? Remember to always capitalize the first letter in a line, no matter if it is the beginning of a sentence or not. And, good titles always catch people's attention. So, remember to add that in too. Rhyming poems are good to do, but once in a while writing some meaningful poetry is a good way to improve your writing. So, I write all kinds of poems.
Would you like to be a poet? Remember, if you practice you'll get better. If you have written a poem share it with me. I'd love to see it. Bye!
