Now you may be thinking that poetry has to be about highfalutin' or serious topics, but no it does not. A poem can be about anything at all, it can be silly, flippant, humorous ; whatever you want it to be. The most important thing is to have fun writing it. Here is one that I wrote about an ordinary object that I use everyday - my porridge pot. I hope it makes you smile as much as it did me when I wrote it!.
Sitting on the hob
I feel so proud
Amongst the other pans
My only job
Is to warm your porridge
Unlike the other pans
Who are used for
Many purposes -
Boiling spuds,
Cooking peas,
Scrambling egg and
Making your tea
I am shiny and clean
I don't want to be mean
But the other pots
Are showing their age
With missing lids
Loose handles
And ancient stains
I love being plunged
Into soapy water
What I like to call my bubble bath
Where I am rubbed
And scrubbed
Until my surfaces sparkle
Then you caress me
With your fluffy towel
