The three big ideas

Rhyme — two words that end with the same sound: tall / ball, friend / mend.
Word families — once you find -and, you get hand, land, stand, band. Handy for writing your own poem!
Near sounds — love and dove rhyme even though the spelling looks different. Trust your ears.

Try it. Which word rhymes with care?

Say them aloud: share, cup, green. Only share ends with the same –air sound, so care and share rhyme.

Refrain — a line or phrase the poet says again and again, like “together we can”.
Why poets repeat — it sticks in your head and shows what matters most in the poem.
Spotting it — read the poem and look for the line that keeps coming back. That is the refrain.

Message — the main idea or feeling the poet wants you to carry away.
How to find it — ask: what is the poem really about? What does it want me to do or feel?
Clues — the title and the refrain often point straight to the message.

Common mix-up: the message is not the same as the story. A poem can be about a kite, but its message may be “don’t give up.” Look past the pictures to the idea.

Where you'll meet it

Rhyme & message, all around you

Write your own rhyme

Pick a word family like -ight (light, night, bright) and build two lines that rhyme. Add a repeated line and you have your own little poem.

Songs you already know

Most songs use end rhyme and a refrain (the chorus). Listen for the line that comes back — you already know how poems work!

Greeting cards and slogans

Birthday cards and class slogans rhyme so they are easy to remember. Spotting the message helps you write a kind one of your own.
