Poems

We had a Skype session in school with Ken Nesbitt.  He is a poet who writes lots of silly poems.  During our Skype, he showed us his website where there are loads and loads of his poems.  Our class and Mr. Nesbitt made up a poem together called Playing With Your Food where we gave him food words that rhymed and he put everything together into a poem.

Below is what we came up with (the first and third stanzas) during the Skype.  The second stanza (in pink) is what I added. (A stanza is like a paragraph in a poem. My mom told me that!)

Playing With Your Food

Swimming with sushi.

Tennis with tomatoes.

Skipping with spaghetti.

Polo with potatoes.

Golfing with grapes.

Bowling with beets.

Hockey with honey.

Sailing with sweets.

Baseball with bacon.

I'm in an awesome mood!

Nothing is better than

Playing with your food

Here is one that I made up, called Imagine.

Imagine

Imagine a stew

That tastes like glue.

Imagine James

Went up in flames.

Imagine Mary

Is really hairy!

Imagine a hill

That is on a grill.

Imagine dough

That could sew.

Just imagine!

I hope you like the poems! Oh, and just if you wanted to know how to make a funny poem, the trick I used was to make the words rhyme.  It could rhyme every line or sometimes every other line!  Try it --it's fun!
