Year 2 Home Learning - Monster Poetry Weds 16th October

Can you make up a poem about a monster where you describe the monster using things that you don’t like?

This is the monster

I made up last week.

A monster so scary

I’m now losing sleep!

It has…

Make a list of things that you don’t like.  Then put these into the poem about a monster.

barbed-wire , stinging nettles , car alarm noise,  cold porridge, wasp-stings, bullies, burnt toast, getting a library fine,  getting a puncture on my bike, having an argument,  dusting the house, toothache

Here’s an example:

It has barbed-wired feet

And stinging nettle arms

When singing it sounds

Like the noise of our car alarms

It has  cold porridge for eyes

And a wasp sting nose 

It has bullies for fingers

And burnt toast for toes

It has library fines for teeth

And flat tyres for eyes

It sounds like an argument

Whenever it cries.

My poem uses rhyme, but yours does not have to.
