A list poem is one in which the writer starts his or her brainstorming for the poem by making a list and writes the poem from the list. Just take the list and make it a poem.

Example:

This morning I got up
on the wrong side of the bed
turned the shower water too hot
and scalded my head
mom yelled at me
dad ignored me
my puppy bit me
big brother hit me
could not find the lotion
nor the shampoo
wish I could go back to bed
...........and snooze.

Another example:

I went to the store
to pick up some bread
when I arrived
I got rolls instead
strolled through the veggies
and picked up fruits
got custard pudding
and brunswick stew
hit the dairy and
went for the eggs
then felt a pain in my legs
the load was heavy
and boy, was I sluggy
do you know why?
did not get a buggy.

Remember: List poems do not have to rhyme.
