3. Does the last word of have to rhyme with others?
It doesn’t have to rhyme, but it would sound better.

4. Do I have to put “I wish I had a magic wand
to make all my wishes come true” ?
You don’t have to put “I wish I had a
magic wand to make all my wishes
come true”, only if you want to, and if
you have nothing else to write.

5. HOW MANY LINES DO WE HAVE
• You can do as many lines as you want, but it can’t
be too short and can’t be too long. The best would
probably be about 7-10 lines.
•

6. Is there a rhythm/pattern to it?
There isn’t really a rhythm to it, but if
you want to have a rhythm there has to
be a little bit of rhyming.

7. Do they all have to be connected to one
subject? ex: all about school?
It’s better to have you poem about one subject,
so you reader would understand what your
trying to say.

8. Does it have to be “I wish I had” or just “I wish” ?
• It can be I wish I had, or I wish
whatever you want.

I wish I could have baked
I wish I could just fly
Instead I can lie.
I wish the world was great
but now it’s fish bate
I wish I could find some lime to add to this chime.

box me all the time
I wish I had a soda lime to
finish this rhyme.
