Poems about Food

16 February 2021 - WA1X

Lesson Goals

By the end of this lesson....

Learners can share their creativity in poems about food

Please do not feed the ostriches

sandwiches

or the polar bears

éclairs.

Do not offer the wombats

kumquats

or the rattle-snakes

fruit-cakes.

Remember that piranhas

are not allowed bananas

or partridges

sausages.

Never approach a stork

with things on a fork

or the bustard

with a plate of custard.

No leopard

likes anything peppered

and meerkats

dislike Kit Kats.

Remember that grapes

upset apes

and meringues

do the same for orang-utans.

Most importantly–

do not feed the cheetah

your teacher.

‘Please do not feed the animals…’

by Robert Hull

Life is sweet by Elena

The bees work all day long, for the honey in our tea.

They do not get what they deserve in return for that, I guarantee.

When baking cakes, or sipping tea I sometimes suddenly think:

Were any adorable bees hurt while making this tasty sweet drink?

I still eat the yoghurt, and slurp the champagne,

Because we have to stay on top of the food chain.

My poem about food by Ryan

I like to eat tasty food like pancakes

And the amazing pizzas that my mom bakes

With tomato sauce and lots of cheese

I always ask: “Can I have some more, please?”

I love food, it is very delicious

The only bad thing is when I have to do the dishes

rhyme food by Joy

everybody needs food

because that keeps us alive

it gives us a special mood

and brings us in a vibe

not all people have exit to it 

there are others who are in control

and they don’t give a bit

but we have this special goal 

and that goal is mine

can I have? by Sophie

Can I have something sweet?

or just something to eat?

something sour is also okay.

I haven't eaten all day. 

please can I have something, just a little crumb

or something as big as my thumb. 

Can I have a glass of water? 

please please please I am your daughter

you have to give me something. 

just give me one thing.  

Poem by Donna

Food is important to live 

You can eat for instance olive

We eat often healthy during school days

What we have left is for our rabbit to graze

It's also fun to bake cake

That we can eat during the break

My favorite food is chips

But if I eat it too often I can’t close my zips

This was my poem about food

But I am not going to eat a root

FOOD by Emilija

I love food

It gives me a good mood.

I love Candy to eat.

 Like chocolate so sweet.

Sushi, with seaweed on top.

I can eat it nonstop.

Chocolate by Thijmen S

Chocolate is so yummy.

Everybody loves it, only not the dummy’s .

You have: Milk, pure and white.

Try it and take a bite.

On my bread every day.

With my friend when I play.

I have it in my pocket.

Everything must be chocolate!

By Riley

My brother’s favorite food is something I cannot stand.

He eats it every morning.

I think it should be banned.

There is nothing quite as boring.

Brown, burned, buttered or old.

I hate it in every way.

Crispy, dry, hot or with mold.

I think it tastes like decay.

I’d rather eat any other food. 

Then have this on my plate.

It really kills my mood.

It’s a food I love to hate.

By Daan vd B

the banana says the to pear

what do you like to wear

the pear likes a jacket he can’t feel

the banana only wears his peel

the pear really likes apple rum

and i find this poem very dumb

By Sven

If daddy’s making dinner

We will eat soup

He makes it a bit thinner

With a lot more tomatoes

And with less meat

But that is not so good.

If mommy’s making dinner

We also will eat soup

She makes it a bit thicker

With less tomatoes

And a lot more meat

It’s a lot better, but not my mood

If I am making dinner,

We will eat soup :)

I make it perfect

With enough tomatoes

And enough meat

That’s perfect, that’s good.

By Dieuwertje
