Writing 4 Kids  (E) TEMPORARILY CLOSED TILL SPRING! #1999597 by Cubby~On the road again!

*Turkey* November Prompt
I am thankful for...
Write a "list poem" (through a child's eyes) about things they are thankful for.

You may include people, but what I'm really looking for are the silly little things a child might think up.

Think like a kid.


A list poem includes an inventory of people, places, things, or ideas organized in a special way. Often the title says what the list is about. It does not need to have a metered rhythm or rhyme, though it could.

Things I am thankful for...

(and your list goes beneath the bolded title.)

Beginning (Intro)
List
List
List
List
Ending (a surprise or twist)

There is no line limitation.
You may use any title that suits your poem, just be sure to bold it within your poem.
