Rhyming Poems

Writing rhyming poems is like putting puzzle pieces together. You have your puzzle pieces already, your story, now you have to put them together. What shape will your puzzle piece finally turn out?

Equipment

• Scratch paper to work on your poem. Or a computer word processor.
• A pencil/pen.
• A blank sheet of paper.
• Markers, crayons, or other coloring utensils.

Begin Your Poem

1. Start writing your poem on scratch paper or a word processor. Go to rhymezone.com to look for words. This may take a bit of time but keep going. If I were doing multiple poems, I would finish all my poems first before moving on. But you may choose to move on after you’ve finished writing one of the poems.
2. Now you can either print out your (single) poem or write it on the blank sheet of paper.
3. Draw an image from your poem. However you can fit it. If you’re writing in your poem you can even move it all over the place to fit your drawings. Use your creativity.

If you have more, go back and finish the other poems with the same procedure. Make a neat book with your final poems in order of the story.
