My friend Lobel is mysterious
He cries when he is happy
He acts happy when he is sad
But he needs a friend
So I’m here to help

My dad is lazy and crazy and
He won’t let my mama loose
until he drinks his juice and
loose juice and
moose goose
truce of cukoo cukoo

I see a light
Is it the police or just a beam?
Is it something else, so it seems?
It’s a very bright light.
Is it an alien UFO or so it seems?

Me, Myself, and I
were eating a piece of pie
we eat it up
we sip some tea
Me, Myself, and I

I like to make riddles
while eating brittle
it’s really really good

Math is the path to go to college.
College is the path to get more knowledge to be smart
Being smart is the path to learn how to make art.

Rain rain
Passes a train
I hope it doesn’t
Pass again
If it does
I will cry
Because
I will Fall
On the ground

Poems are fun to write
They can be about anything.
Everything, even your kite.

You can write haikus,
Doesn’t even have to rhyme,
Just 5, 7, 5.

Or humorous works,
If you make it funny.
Like, I’ll write,
A flea ate a bunny!

If your brain is empty,
Free verse is best.
You don’t have to rhyme,
Or even put rhythm like I…

Could Go On And On Without Breaking Any Rules Because This Poem Is Free Verse!

If you’re feeling dancey
Try lyrical, and write a song.
It could start like this,
Then go: boopy bop bing bong bong!

Also try narrative,
If you like writing stories.
It can rhyme, or have rhythm,
But it also tells a story.

End with 5 again.
