I like I Like poems, yes I do!

They’re easy to do and fun to write. In fact, I like many things, so I write many I Like Poems.

(Sometimes, I like them so much, I write I LOVE poems! Check out the picture below!)

Here’s one:

I like puppies

     Sleepy puppies

     Rambunctious puppies

     Tumbling puppies

     Cuddling puppies

Puppies in the grass

Puppies in the tub

Puppies under a pillow

Puppies beside me

     Puppies chewing slippers

     Puppies chasing butterflies

     Puppies fetching balls

     Puppies licking my face

I like PUPPIES!

• Choose something you like.
• Write : I like ________
• Think of 4 different kinds – adjectives are best!
• Think of 4 places where it could be – use prepositions.
• What can it be doing? Think of 4 things.
• End your poem with the first line:  I like ________!

Notes:

• How did I start each line?
• How did I end it?
• Sometimes, each line had only two words. Did you notice that? Sometimes, a line had 4 words.
• Poems are not written like paragraphs or “normal” sentences (ending with periods).  they don’t ramble on throughout the line. They stop often, even without a period.
