Publisher Description:
When is a list also a poem? When it's a list poem! List poems can be funny or serious, rhymed or unrhymed. Award-winning author Brian P. Cleary explains how these types of poems work--and shows some of the many ways they can be written. Underneath My Bed is packed with goofy poems on subjects ranging from summer camp to dinosaurs to messy bedrooms. And when you've finished reading, you can try writing your very own list poem!
There is no, “Ho Hum, Poetry is boring!” here! You’ll find engaging illustrations and themes that appeal to those preteen kids: an 800-pound spaghetti limerick; a piranha acrostic; a pizza haiku; a Halloween candy concrete poem; sleepover party quatrain; and more. Each book starts with a Table of Contents and a 2-page explanation of the specific poetry style highlighted: List, Acrostic, Quatrain, Haiku, Concrete, and Limericks. Fun and educational, with a bit of quirk, these collections are proof that poetry can engage any audience. Further reading and website recommendations at back. 6 3/4”x 9”, 32 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
