Pretty Petty’s Poem for Kids
Hey kids, this issue is just for you! We’re Amanda and Eric, and we’re poets. This is a part of our poetry business. We would like to share with you our silly, fun poems. With these poems, we’re going to TRY to teach you.
This is a “Homophone” poem. A homophone deals with the same words but has two different meanings. For example, Ewe and you; you is a person and ewe is a female sheep. This is an homophone. Yeah, I know it’s confusing. You will see that in this poem how befuddling how really it is…
