Did you know?

Poems can be anything. They can be all punctuation, no punctuation, a jumble of words, two words long or anything else you can think of! Poetry is the job you can get closest to goofing off, I guess. Lol. Below is a real poem, in a poetry book for children:

The Loch Ness Monster's song

Isn't that cool? And it just goes to show that poetry can be anything you like!!!
