FRUITCAKE

Today

in the mail

came a 2 pound

brick.

Aunt Sally

sent Mom

a fruitcake

again.

  Today's challenge is to write a poem about a holiday food.  Have fun.

Fruit Salad

Please understand,

eating fruit, I like

a lot.  I find it

cheers me and makes me

happy and healthy.

A peach is a furry fruit

I bite in soft and sweet.

Tasty and yummy

it's a fruit I like to eat.


     Can you identify where I've used alliteration in these poems? 
     What is your favorite fruit?  Do you eat fruit at lunch?  Can you write your own poem today about a piece of fruit?  If you had a bunch of grapes what do you think one grape would say to another?  Sounds like a riddle poem doesn't it?

Q: What did one grape say to another?

A: Welcome to our bunch

     stick around my purple brother

    and we'll have you for lunch. 

   Oh, I think that is bad.  Definitely needs some work.  Anyway, have fun writing.
Happy May.

Foods I HATE!

There are some foods

I do not like--

liver and onions

oysters and tripe.

The worst food

I ever ate,

make no mistake,

was my Aunt Bea's fruitcake.

I bit into it 

and got

a toothache.

     Can you write your own list poem of foods you do not like to eat?  Have fun.
