Year 3 write their own versions of my poem 'I Don't Like Poetry'

I was very excited when a teacher from Colville Primary School in Cambridge sent me the following message:

I just wanted to say how much my Year 3 class have enjoyed reading your poem 'I Don't Like Poetry' in Guided Reading. Some of them wrote their own versions independently after we read and discussed your work and I was so impressed by the way the stimulus of your poem got them writing some really interesting similes and metaphors. I've attached some examples for you. There was a thunderous round of applause when they read them out in assembly!

I am really happy to be able to share a selection of their fantastic poems on my blog. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did:
