Even poetry, I like that too.

You will have to rake the bad parts.

When you’re done,

it will be golden.

So it’s not a crime.

I have a little poem.

It sings to me at night.

I wish I had a picture in my head,

but I can’t think of one in bed.

Open Up Your Eyes

Poems are in many different kinds.

They may be crisp like apple pie.

They may be dull like burning coal.

They may be happy like someone’s puppy.

They may be sad like someone who is mad.

Poems are in many different kinds.

Open your eyes.

Poems are fun to read.

They blow your mind.

They keep you up past your bedtime.

These are some of the things a poem can do.
