I am so glad my boys' teachers have used some of their time to teach poetry. After I was awestruck by Lewis' lizard poem he told me he used three techniques: alliteration, repeating a line ("imagine...) and I don't even remember the third. Probably too fancy. (I corrected all his spelling for this just to make it easier to read).
Lizee the Lizard
by Lewis
Imagine
the bones
How tiny
they
would be
Imagine
the brain
as big
as a
pebble
Imagine the
leopard gecko living lizard.
