A Crime Scene by Albert Van Hoogmoed

A Crime Scene

Theres been a murder, a woman was killed,
found in a bathtub, partially filled.

A pair of policemen went into the house
and questioned the poor womans spouse.

He'd just come home from working all night
and found her like that, a terrible sight.

The younger policeman looked on with dismay.
He'd never forget that terrible day.

He saw the young woman from behind the door
and empty milk cartons all over the floor,

Scattered strawberries, slices of fruit,
and spoonfulls of sugar and honey to boot.

"Who woulkd have done this terrible thing?"
His voice had a horrified, pitiful ring.

"Just look at the clues," replied Sargaent Miller.
"It looks like it's the work of a cereal killer."

The storm


The wind blew wild
as it bit into the world
Whilst the lightening struck
the innocent prisoners
of the storm
The thunder roared
its earsplitting below
it would be some time
before it would disappear...

Shape poems

Shape poems are really effective because the poem is in the form that the subject is about. For example, a poem about a flower could be in the shape of a flower!

Dolphin poem....

This is another poem by us:

The Dolphin

I was sailing in the sea
What could there be?
I saw some fish
as the waves went swish.

Then I saw
the dolphin of course!

Bubbles was his name
he told me when he came
we had lots of fun
swimming under the beating sun

Then it stopped
and everything dropped
for this extroadinary dream
was over.

Rhyming couplets

There are such things as rhyming couplets which are two lines that the last words rhyme in:

I like fish
On a silver dish

I love rice
It is really nice

This is a great way to write a poem as it is extremely effective!

Here is another example of a poem without rhyming.

The wind blew wild
The waves dances
hysterically in the storm
then suddenly
everything turned silent
everything was asleep
everything was still
the storm
that had been there for more than you can imagine
died down...

Rhyming?

You do not have to rhyme in poems. There are many poems by authors that do not rhyme but are still extremely effective.

This is a poem all about dolphins, written by us:

My dolphin:
My dolphin is wild
It lives in the sea
It drifts with the waves
It stays close to me
It glides from below
The deep blue sea
And when it is tired
It catches it's tea
