Catch A Little Rhyme Poem by Eve Merriam

Catch A Little Rhyme

Rating: 4.2


Once upon a time
I caught a little rhyme

I set it on the floor
but it ran right out the door

I chased it on my bicycle
but it melted to an icicle

I scooped it up in my hat
but it turned into a cat

I caught it by the tail
but it stretched into a whale

I followed it in a boat
but it changed into a goat

When I fed it tin and paper
it became a tall skyscraper

Then it grew into a kite
and flew far out of sight...

My teacher plagerised your poem and said it was hers.

I really liked and enjoyed this imaginative flight of fancy. Yet feel the last stanza does not fit. The 'tall skyscraper/ Then it grew into a kite' would be better as 'When I fed it tin and paper it became a tall skyscraper Then it shrank into a kite and flew far out of sight...' Just my opinion, the image fits better.
