Church, but not as we know it!

28 February 2012

This is just a silly poem straight from my imagination, and is fortunately based only on jokes about church, and not on my own experience!

Cattitude

28 February 2012

This cat poem is just a bit of rhyming fun with an obvious bit of word play in the title, but anyone who has ‘owned’ a cat will relate to the “Cattitude” that I am referring to!

This rhyming, rhythmical alphabet poem is packed full of alliteration, and combines all of the sights, sounds and emotions (good and bad) of bonfire night. An ABC poem is a good way to think of all of the elements of bonfire night, as there is endless inspiration in the occasion itself, and this poem […]

Beware the Knicker Nickers

27 February 2012

This alien story poem is nothing more than a bit of silly fun, inspired by the word play in the title. It includes some metaphors, alliteration and word play. It did, however, become something of a challenge keeping up the rhyme pattern of aaaa. (See BEGINNERS’ PAGES for explanation of rhyme patterns.)

Awe and Wonder

27 February 2012

This nature poem combines my love and appreciation of spring with my Christian faith, so I was torn as to whether to include this poem in the nature category.

The poem is nothing more than a funny […]

An Alphabetical Alien Invasion

27 February 2012

This is a fun, imaginative and descriptive children’s alphabet poem. Children love describing aliens, as they can never be wrong, so the challenge here is to describe them so succinctly and precisely that the alien can be recognised from a picture. It’s a great, fun way to combine literacy and art.

All About You

27 February 2012

I wrote this rhythmic, rhyming poem to encourage you to write about yourself. Poetry is often a very personal thing, because it says so much about the writer’s thoughts, feelings and outlook on life, yet we rarely realise ourselves how interesting we each are as individuals. I love those moments when two people […]

A Topsy Turvy World

27 February 2012

This zany poem is full of all my imaginative wonderings about the world and how it was designed, and includes lots of alliteration. Try redesigning the world yourself, and think through all of the consequences; it’s a fun exercise!

A Royal Apology

27 February 2012

This is a funny letter poem, written with rhyme and rhythm, and including lots of word play (of the toilet humour variety!) and occasional moments of alliteration. It is the third poem in a trilogy which needs to be read in order to understand the content.
