This inspirational poem shares the same beginning as one of my Christian poems entitled “Who Am I?”, but “Introducing…..You!” is purpose written to make the reader think about who they are, so it makes a good introduction to a workshop on the topic.

POEM EXAMPLES OF CREATIVE WRITING
Listed below are poems which are my examples of creative writing. There is nothing complex about creative writing but in order to be imaginative we often need some kind of stimulation or idea to get us started. As with anything else, the more we do this, and the more we share ideas, the more natural and fast flowing these ideas will come to be. (Have you ever looked at cars from the front and noticed that some headlights look like angry eyes, and others like little puppy-dog eyes….or is that just me?! Since I noticed, I can’t help but see it all the more!)
Anyway, often my poems begin with a silly moment, or conversation which is extended by my childish thoughts, and I always find that the moments come from observing people and things around me. I love to write about aliens, for example, as the poem can go in any direction and be as silly and imaginative as the rhyming leads it to be. Sometimes I will begin with an idea for a punchline and work my way towards it (generally the FUNNY POEMS will begin this way) and other times I will be surprised at the progression of the story as it develops by following the lead of the rhyming (generally these become my SILLY POEMS). If you would like ideas for teaching creative writing to children and to stimulate ideas for them look at the TEACHERS PAGE, CREATIVE WRITING on the menu bar above. If you would like to just enjoy my own examples of creative writing poems they are listed below in alphabetical order, although they will also be duplicated into other specific poem categories mentioned above so that they can be found by other means.
