Grandpa’s Stories
The pictures on the television
Do not make me dream as well
As the stories without pictures
Grandpa knows how to tell.
Even if he does not know
What makes a Spaceman go,
Grandpa says back in his time
Hamburgers only cost a dime,
Ice cream cones a nickel,
And a penny for a pickle.
by Langston Hughes
Write a Family Poem
What do you like to do with your family?
Do you tell stories on the porch?
Do you play the piano and sing?
Write a poem about your family.
Use words and phrases that give
your poem rhythm.
