Speaker 1: Hey, parents, If you love our podcasts, you'll love the

Speaker 2: Bubble Bubble, Toilet, Shrouble to Beat You or Not to
Speaker 2: beat Roses are read? Said Sam, I am, and Jill
Speaker 2: came tumbling after. What are you doing, Elliott? I'm trying
Speaker 2: to write my first poem from my English homework.
Speaker 3: Oh your poem.
Speaker 2: Is interesting, thank you, But I think it's missing something.
Speaker 3: Hmmm, maybe it's missing a rhyme.
Speaker 1: Oops, Lisa. Poetry can be written without a rhyme. It
Speaker 1: can be written almost any way you'd like. But Elliott's
Speaker 1: poem is missing something else?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 1: Well, Elliot, you just put pieces of other famous poems together,
Speaker 1: didn't you.
Speaker 2: Huh?
Speaker 1: Then it's missing you Elliot the poet?
Speaker 3: What what?
Speaker 1: Welcome to story time by Lingo Kids, where we discover
Speaker 1: fascinating facts about the world around us and the fun
Speaker 1: of play learning. Today, let's help Elliot become a poet
Speaker 1: and write his very first poem. But before we continue,
Speaker 1: Elliot has something to share.
Speaker 2: Hi, it's Elliott here. Do you know what your superpower
Speaker 2: is here is our big news. We are starting a
Speaker 2: new podcast. It's called Growing Up. With our host Emily.
Speaker 2: We'll find out what it takes to be anything you want.
Speaker 1: This is so exciting, Elliot. In the podcast Growing Up,
Speaker 1: you can meet real actors, musicians, firefighters, doctors, football players,
Speaker 1: and others. We will share secrets of discovering your superpower
Speaker 1: as you are growing up. Just search for Growing Up
Speaker 1: bi Lingo kids. That's a good idea, Billy Cowie. Do
Speaker 1: you want to read your poem? Maybe that will help
Speaker 1: Elliott get some ideas for his poem.
Speaker 3: Okay, you're ghosts h.
Speaker 2: Roses are red, violets are blue, I love eating grass
Speaker 2: and sane blue. See your sounds way nicer, Thanks Elliot.
Speaker 1: Very nice poem, Cowie. If we listen to it carefully,
Speaker 1: we'll notice a few things about it. Can you read
Speaker 1: it for us one more time? Cowie?
Speaker 4: Sure? Uh huh.
Speaker 2: Roses are red, violets are blue, I love eating grass
Speaker 2: and saneoo.
Speaker 1: Notice how musical it sounds. The poem has a certain
Speaker 1: rhythm to it.
Speaker 3: Is it rhythm something.
Speaker 1: You dance too?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Rhythm is like a repeating pattern usually used in music.
Speaker 1: A song has a certain beat that you can follow
Speaker 1: and dance along to, and some poems can have rhythm too.
Speaker 1: Cool Words in a poem that end with the same
Speaker 1: or similar sounds are called rhymes. Like Lisa said earlier,
Speaker 1: you could add some rhyming words to your poem, Elliott
Speaker 1: to make it even funnier.
Speaker 2: Ooh, let me try. Roses are red, Violets are blue?
Speaker 2: I love the sleep eat carrots. No way, that doesn't rhyme?
Speaker 1: Oh man, ooh oh, let me try.
Speaker 2: Roses aren't the violets are blue? Carrots are blue, and
Speaker 2: I love blue. That's a lot of blue. Wait, carots
Speaker 2: aren't blue, but that rhymes right.
Speaker 1: I guess blue rhymes with blue. But usually in poems
Speaker 1: you want to find rhyming words that are different. That's
Speaker 1: part of the challenge and part of the fun. Ou
Speaker 1: I know what we can do. Let's think of some
Speaker 1: rhyming words together. Can you think of any words that
Speaker 1: rhyme with.
Speaker 4: Hat that cat matt, great job.
Speaker 1: Late hat ah yes, one of my favorite poems by
Speaker 1: Doctor Seuss. How about words that rhyme with fish wash? Hmmm,
Speaker 1: not quite but almost just change.
Speaker 3: One letter whish yes, great job?
Speaker 1: Any others dish squish. Okay, last one, how about something
Speaker 1: that rhymes with blue? Good one, Kelli, clue, that's a
Speaker 1: good one too. Pooh pooh, I guess it rhymes. But
Speaker 1: how about we choose a better word that you can
Speaker 1: use for your poem. I know something that rhymes with blue.
Speaker 1: It's something that pandas like to eat. Can you guess
Speaker 1: what it is?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: I know, bab boo.
Speaker 1: Yes, great job. And now that you know that it
Speaker 1: rhymes with blue, maybe you can use it in your poem.
Speaker 2: Cool. I want to try my poem again.
Speaker 3: Here it goes.
Speaker 2: Roses are red, violets are blue. I love to sleep
Speaker 2: and eat bamboo.
Speaker 1: Great jaw, Elliot, you've just made your first poem. Holly.
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone, Lingo Kids listeners, you can try this at
Speaker 1: home too. Remember in our episode Lisa the Bookworm, we
Speaker 1: asked you to help Elliot and Lisa finish their story
Speaker 1: about the frog. Thank you to our listener Leone, who
Speaker 1: sent his lines to podcast at Lingo Kids dot com.
Speaker 1: You can do it too, Lingo Kids listeners. Just use
Speaker 1: those first two lines Roses are red, violets are blue,
Speaker 1: and then complete the poem by adding your own lines.
Speaker 1: Make sure to send us your poems. We'd love to
Speaker 1: hear what you come up with. You can ask a grown.
Speaker 3: Up how have fine?
Speaker 1: Yes, Poetry is so much fun and the best thing
Speaker 1: is it helps you get better at reading and writing
Speaker 1: all while you're having fun.
Speaker 2: Now that I wrote my first poem, I want to
Speaker 2: be an even better poet.
Speaker 1: That's great, Elliot. The best way to learn and get
Speaker 1: better at writing is by reading all kinds of books
Speaker 1: and poetry, and by writing different kinds of poems. Do
Speaker 1: you think you can do that, Elliot? Yes, Lingo kids listeners,
Speaker 1: thank you all for helping Elliot create his very first poem.
Speaker 1: We had a great time today learning about poetry and rhyme.
Speaker 3: See you in our next episode.
