Poetry workshop

We are learning to understand how different words in poems can hook the reader. 

Why: rhyming words make poems more interesting.

These were the rhyming words in the poem. Brew and pooh, lotion and potion, shrink and drink.

What is brew? Brew means drink.

 

What is the other word for brew? The similar word of brew in the poem is a potion.
