JOSIE'S POEMS
Animal Poems for Children

THE BROWN HYENA
By Josie Whitehead
I'm lean and I'm mean and I forage alone.
I'm shaggy, I'm scraggy and to others, well known.
I’m canny, I'm cunning and have both wile and wit.
They say I have strong jaws. It’s true, I'll admit.
I'm rough and I'm tough and I prowl the wide plain.
I’m both scavenger and nomad with long unkempt mane.
I'm tawny, I'm brawny and in the rays of this moon,
With good fortune my ally, I may feed very soon.

NOTE: Use language which enhances your poetry and makes
it stand out differently to just ordinary writing. Poetry isn't plain writing but an arts subject which links to music, art, song etc and your writing of poetry should not be plain writing just broken up into lines, but it should SHINE as being something different.
​
Use all the things which help it to shine, ie rhyme and double rhyme - and not just at the ends of lines. Look at my poem about for the double rhyme within the lines. Look for alliteration, assonance and consonance. (See my articles HERE).
