Animal Poems - The Chicago Poetry Center

Animal Poems

This week at Clissold we started by asking the question if you could be any animal, what would you be and why? Our discussion was pretty lively, with a few students throwing in imaginary creatures, like unicorns! Some students picked multiples animals they felt reflected them and incorporated them all into their poems. Here are a few of this weeks pieces. Enjoy the poems!

Wolf Jeremiah

If I could be an animal
I would be a wolf
because I cold howl
I would be a wolf
because they eat people
I would be a dinosaur
because they can fight
I would want to be a dinosaur
that has a rock on it’s tail
It would be called Jeremiah the Rockster

Animal Poem Eden

If I could be any animal
I would be a tiger
I would be a tiger because
I was growling at my friend today
and being a tiger is fun.
I would be duck, why.
I will be a duck because I can swim and fly
and I can go deep in the water.
And I will be a bat
so I can hang upside down.
