Poetry Day

Hi guys
Soon it will be Poetry Day (28th January) and this year I intend to write my student �s Limericks on the windows with a special chalk marker. Our school building has numerous windows and I think our Limericks won �t be enough. So I �m looking for small poems of 4 or less than 4 lines. Catching poems with a bit of a funny twist, maybe. Do you know about specific sites with useful poetry? Other useful ideas are welcome too!
Hugs from Belgium!

I don �t know any sites for it.. but I know a few limericks !
There once was a boy named Trevor
Who wanted to live forever
he stood on his head
and then he was dead
now that wasn �t very clever

Dear Rabbitwho and Aftab57
I �ve saved the Limerick (I guess, indeed, a Limerick is the best poetry form to use.) and the doc. file aswell as the sites. Thank you very much. They have already been a great help!
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Hi Kristen,
I tried to find some for you, I got this..:
"Yesterday when my favourite clown
arrived he was wearing a frown"
�I �m tired of the way
I �m laughed at each day
I �m getting a new job in town. �

Thanks for your fantastic limerick, dear Judith! It �s fairly easy to understand. So my lower level students will be able to read it.
I almost missed it...  . Luckily, I received your PM!
Hugs
