6. Write a poem as if you had three magic wishes.
7. Write a poem about a made-up animal.
8. Write a poem about a dog, a mouse and an elephant (or any three animals you like). What happens?
9. Write a poem as if you have a Super Power.
10. Make up your own poem about a porridge pot that never stops bubbling over in your kitchen.
