THE LIFE OF A CUPCAKE BY SHELLY GREER
They put me in the oven to bake. _A_
Me, a deprived and miserable cake. ___
Feeling the heat, I started to bubble. ___
Watching the others, I knew I was in trouble. ___
They opened the door and I started my life. _C_
Frosting me with a silver knife, ___
Decorating me with candy jewels. ___
The rest of my batch looked like fools. ___
Lifting me up, she took off my wrapper. _E_
Feeling the breeze, I wanted to slap her. ___
Opening her mouth with shiny teeth inside, ___
This was the day this cupcake died. __ Source: https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/the-life-of-a-cupcake

Poetry Tools - 2) What is a Simile?
A. A simile is when two things are compared using LIKE or AS. The two things that are compared are not usually similar. Similes are important tools that make language more creative, descriptive, and entertaining.
They often use exaggeration to show something.
What does “exaggeration” mean?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
B. Examples: My sister is as sweet as a pie. -Do we usually compare sisters and pie? -What do we learn about the sister by comparing her to pie?
My bedroom is like a farm yard. My mom is always telling me to clean it up!
-What is similar about the bedroom and a farm yard? Do you thinks this is an exaggeration?
C. Now you try :
1. He is ___________ a brother to me. He helps me with everything.
2. My little kitten is _____ cute _____ a teddy bear!
3. Planet Mars is _____ red _____ an apple.
4. After the tiring day, I slept _________ a baby.

The Dragon of Grindly Grun by Shel Silverstein
I'm the Dragon of Grindly Grun,
I breathe fire as hot as the sun.
When a knight comes to fight I just toast him on sight,
Like a hot crispy cinnamon bun.
When I see a fair damsel go by,
I just sigh a fiery sigh,
And she'd baked like a 'tater-I think of her later
With a romantic tear in my eye.

A. Poetry is written to be read out loud ☺
Reading a poem is like eating ice cream or chocolate. You don’t just stick it into your mouth and swallow it.
You enjoy it! You concentrate on its wonderful flavor. You notice if it has more than one flavor. You notice if it has
nuts or candy. Poets use words that you can move around in your mouth and enjoy their flavors. They use different
kinds of repeating sounds to make these flavors. Not just rhyming, but other kinds of repeating sounds, too.
Just like alliteration & repetition:
B. Read the poem ‘ Bear in There ‘ by Shel Silverstein and see if you notice any sounds that repeat. Circle them.
Poetry Tools : 4) What is Alliteration & Repetition ?
ALLITERATION : Which sounds are repeated in which words?

Personification gives an animal or an object life by talking about it like it was a person.
Example: “ The spoon remembered the day that he fed the young prince.”
Can a spoon really remember? No, of course not, it has no brain. However, what if we pretend that the spoon is a
person and that “he” or “she” can have memories just like us. Then we have PERSONIFICATION!
Read the poem and answer the questions:
The Sun to the Night Sky by Angela Yardy
Can't you make a bit more effort to brighten up the place?
I have spent my whole day with a smile upon my face,
You stagger on the earth, with your weak starlight wink,
And all my effort's wasted and gone in just one blink.
1) This poem is part of a conversation between the _______ and the ____________ .
2) Who had a smile on their face the whole day ? _ __ __ _

Wind on the Hill by A. A. Milne
No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.
It's flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn't keep up with it,
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.
And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.

Roald Dahl

He especially enjoyed writing silly poems based on classic fairy tales like “Little Red Riding Hood” and “The Three Little Pigs.” Read the lines from his poem and see if you can find any poetic tools!
The Dentist & The Crocodile By Roald Dahl
The crocodile, with cunning smile, sat in the dentist’s chair. He said, “Right here and everywhere my teeth require repair.” The dentist’s face was turning white. He quivered, quaked and shook. He muttered, “I suppose I’m going to have to take a look.” “I want you”, Crocodile declared, “to do the back ones first. The molars at the very back are easily the worst.” He opened wide his massive jaws. It was a fearsome sight— At least three hundred pointed teeth, all sharp and shining white. The dentist kept himself well clear. He stood two yards away. He chose the longest probe he had to search out the decay.
“I said to do the back ones first!” the Crocodile called out. “You’re much too far away, dear sir, to see what you’re about. To do the back ones properly you’ve got to put your head Deep down inside my great big mouth,” the grinning Crocky said. The poor old dentist wrung his hands and, weeping in despair, He cried, “No no! I see them all extremely well from here!” Just then, in burst a lady, in her hands a golden chain. She cried, “Oh Croc, you naughty boy, you’re playing tricks again!” “Watch out!” the dentist shrieked and started climbing up the wall. “He’s after me! He’s after you! He’s going to eat us all!” “Don’t be a twit,” the lady said, and flashed a gorgeous smile. “He’s harmless. He’s my little pet, my lovely crocodile.”
