Telephone Poems

English class in elementary and middle school was fun when we got to play with poetry. One of the types of poems we learned about was the Telephone Poem... Here's 2 examples of a Telephone Poem.

Susie

5        The once was a girl

2         Named Susie

3         who fell down

~

1         and

3         Got a bruisie

8         She cried for her Mother, sister, and brother

7         They looked and said "That's a doozie!"

Pirates

3         Way Down yonder
5          In the land down under
4         There lived a pirate
~
4          That liked to plunder
5          He was doing just great
6          Finding treasure with all his mates
7          Until he made one to many blunders.
