Funny Poetry and PoetryTalents.com

I began writing poems after I read some funny poems from the internet. I wanted to write poems like the poets too. So, I started.
At first it was hard to think a funny idea to write it. I thought and I thought and I thought. But I finally thought of one and wrote it.
It is titled My Rotten Day. The day after I wrote it, I wrote another poem in school titled A Birthday Indeed. When I arrived home, I wrote another poem titled My Confession.
Say You Can!
From that day on, I continue writing poems.
But how did I learn how to write them? From school, of course!
But how did I succeed? Why didn’t I fail?
The answer is simple: You keep on writing. You don’t give up.
When you stop writing, you fail. You don’t stop writing just because someone says badly about your poem.
You keep on writing. You keep on going. Then you succeed.
When you finish writing your poem, don’t look so gloom and depressed. Praise yourself! Yes, that will make you happy and satisfied. Don’t ‘trash’ your poem. You know you can always modify it to make it better. Some poems you are not satisfied with are a satisfaction to other people. In other words, the poems you think that are no good, are good to other people (while some are no good to them).
One fine day I realized that the poems I write now are better than the ones I wrote before. This means that if you use your talents, you will have more. And if you say you don’t have talents, you will have none.
Funny Ideas
How do I get funny ideas? I think! First, think of something funny to write about a subject. Then, add a funny ending.
For Example: My dad cooks very badly and burnt our food so he was forced to order pizza for us!
Finally, make the story into a poem!
One more thing: Write down the idea to your notebook or computer so that you don’t need to spend much effort remembering them.
Where do I get funny ideas? Sometimes I think, sometimes the idea just comes to you. Sometimes, thinking of it is easy; sometimes, it’s hard.
When you want to think of a funny idea, you start with a subject:
- Yourself
- Your father
- Your mother
- Your brother
- Your pet
- Your house
- A tall building
- Animals
- Birds
- Monsters
- The sea
- A frog
- Escaping from school
- An annoying person
- Or something else…
Now, you think what’s funny, absurd, or unique about them. Hmmm… Let’s start with…Escaping from school. Now, what’s funny or surprsing about escaping from school? Your teacher punishes you (of course, when you accidentally bumped into your teacher)! Aha… That was a good one. You can make that a funny ending. Now, when you talk about that, you may go to other subjects with a funny ending involving escaping from school. After that, WRITE YOUR POEM!
Here is an example:
Pranks on the Principal
Nick pasted a ‘kick me’ note on the principal’s back.
The one who placed thumbtacks on the school floor was Jack.
Mike had put the principal’s chair somewhere in the street.
Sam secretly ate the principal’s food: the broccoli and meat.
The principal was walking with the ‘kick me’ note on him.
The one who kicked the principal was the teacher, Tim.
When the principal reached his place, he just sat down.
His chair wasn’t there, so his butt banged on the ground.
He had no other choice but to just stand up and eat.
When he opened his Tupperware, no broccoli and meat!
He was very, very, very angry and he did care,
and went off to the street to find his missing chair.
After that, he grouped the things: his lost and found chair,
the ‘kick me’ note which was on him, and his Tupperware.
He said to them, “There is a thing that I’d like to mention:
All of you must be whacked and punished in detention!”
So, he walked while carrying the things to be put in detention.
Oh! There is one more thing I almost forgotten to mention.
On the way there, he, by accident, stepped on the thumbtacks.
The one who laughed when he fell was the student, Max.
