A List poem is exactly what it implies; ideas that are written as a list, or which are written with a repetitive style to them. For more details, and an explanation and ideas to help you get started writing list poems yourself, use the TEACHERS’ PAGE, DIFFERENT POETRY FORMS, LIST POEMS to find out more. In the meantime, examples of my list poems are listed below.
Last night I saw a UFO descending from the sky.
It landed in my garden, but I’d no idea why.
The spaceship doors were opened wide, and to my great surprise
A stream of aliens came out before my very eyes. [click to continue…]
Oh teddy, you’re so brilliant.
I love you, you’re so fine.
You only have one eye left, but
I’m so glad that you’re mine.
Oh teddy, you’re so cuddly,
I love you, you’re so fine
Your stuffing is all coming out
But I’m still glad you’re mine.
Oh teddy, you’re so fluffy
I love you, you’re so fine.
Your tummy’s nearly threadbare but
That’s how I know you’re mine.
Oh teddy, you’re so soothing
I love you, you’re so fine.
I wish your lullabies still played….
But never mind; you’re mine!
Oh teddy you’re so unique
I love you, you’re so fine.
You know so many secrets and
Of course, they are all mine!
My teddy’s irreplaceable
I love him, he’s so fine
I bet you love your teddy too
As much as I love mine.
I love the calming effect that nature has on me. This poem is the result of one of those moments when I forced myself to take time out. It is written as a list poem and uses character reflection and imagery to carry the reader through the gradual process of the changing emotions.
Away from the hustle and bustle of life;
Away from the stress, and the worry and strife;
Away from the pressures of Mum and of wife;
Creation’s a wonderful thing. [click to continue…]
Five silly children cockling on their chairs
All of a sudden they were caught unawares…… [click to continue…]
An Encouragement Poem
What is a poem if no-body reads it?
What is a favour if no-body needs it?
What is a present, if no-body gives?
How painful is “sorry”, if no-one forgives?
What is a story with no-one to listen?
What is a diamond without light to glisten?
