I KNOW A BEETLE
By Josie Whitehead
I Know a Beetle
I know a beetle,
Who lives down a drain.
His coat's very shiny,
But terribly plain.
​
When I take a bath,
He comes up the pipe.
Together we wash,
Together we wipe.
​
* True? No, of course not.

HELP WITH YOUR OWN POEM:
KS1 AND KS2 CHILDREN
It's a very good way to learn to write poetry if you use one poem as a template for another one. You cannot copy the words, but you can copy the rhythm of the poem. It is called "shadowing poetry". Try shadowing this poem. I have. My poem is called "I Know a Spider." eg: I know a hedgehog -
I know a tiger - I know a lion - I know a kitten. Look for the name that has two syllables. 'dog?' No. puffin? - yes. tortoise????? - This is how you learn to write poetry. Josie
