NIGHT CAP

I wear my night cap
on my head,
put on pajamas,
I'm ready for bed.

    Do you know why people used to wear night caps?  What are some other clothing items you can think of that people no longer wear?  Can you try writing a poem about another piece of clothing?  Have fun writing.

WINTER COLD

Tonight it might freeze.
The citrus trees
Could loose their leaves.
Could lose the fruit too.
What to do?

To keep  the trees
Away from harm,
We put lights on
To make them warm.

Then for more heat
And lots more drama
We dressed the trees
In pink pyjamas.


     This was a fun poem to write because at first I had a hard time finding a rhyming word for pyjamas.  At first I thought about moving that word, so it wasn't my end word.  But, the pyjamas is the whole point of the poem and it really needed to be the final word.  So I went to my rhyming dictionary and there were several options.  Can you write a poem today about what you do to keep warm?  Have fun.
