POEM STARTER

Imagine you are a young child attempting rhyming poetry for the first time.

Consider the language you use to reflect the child’s age. Also try to think about what would be an important topic for them to write about.

Boys Don’t Cry

Tw: Implied abuse

mummy sometimes calls me a dummy

But daddy sometimes hits mummy

mummy and daddy always fight at night

and i get something called a fright?

i hold my teddy closer and pretend i am dreaming

but i feel like crying because i hear screaming

i slowly creak open the door and mummy’s on the floor

why is daddy mad

It makes me very sad

mummy screams and shouts and I go back inside

Curling under my blaky to hide

i cry so sad

but daddy’s would get mad

boys don’t cry

i wipe the water from my eye
