Do you sometimes want to disappear, go unnoticed, have no attention drawn to you? <\/em><\/strong>Maybe you would like to go in disguise somewhere so no one would recognise you.<\/span>
\nThe reverse might be true, you want to stand out, have people look up to you and admire you. Laugh at your jokes. <\/em><\/strong>Whatever you want to be or however you want others to see you this is a great poem to express just that!<\/span><\/p>\n

These poems are from Selima Hill’s<\/a> Cow poem<\/strong><\/p>\n

This poem is about the author’s comparison with an animal or an inanimate object. At some point in the poem the author uses a change in tempo or volta. This has a dramatic and interesting effect. The poet addresses the reader. See if you can spot our voltas.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
