This week we are looking at a poem by Joshua Seigal. First of all listen to Joshua Seigal’s five top tips on how to write a poem and then listen to one of his poems. The poem is called I Don’t Like Poetry.

We are going to be looking at some of the things he has mentioned in his poem like similes, metaphors and onomatopoeia. We will then use them to write our own poems.
