Poetry does not always have to

rhyme.

THE NEW PORCH

On your porch it’s beautiful. You can hear the rain and

hear the birds sing. I know it’s different than before, but as

long as you love me…….it will feel

good.

A couplet is a two line poem that rhymes. Each line has the same number of

syllables.

all come out at night. It’s fun to

catch the fire flies, But the mosquitoes

like to bite.More………..

The june bugs hit the windows, and land upon your clothes, But the pesky little mosquito leaves a mark that really
