Beans, Beans, Beans
Baked beans,
Butter beans,
Big fat lima beans,
Long thin string beans-
Those are just a few.
Green beans,
Black beans,
Big fat kidney beans,
Red hot chili beans,
Jumping beans too.
Pea beans,
Pinto beans,
Don't forget shelly beans.
Last of all,
Best of all,
I like jelly beans!
Explication of Beans, Beans, Beans
I choose this poem because it is a good example of a list poem. It could be a shopping list but the way the beans are described and the way this poem flows makes it a work of art. I like how at the end the poet says jelly beans because the whole time I was reading the poem I was thinking about jelly beans. The main tool the poet uses is repetition of the word beans, even the title is beans, beans, beans.
Wow, that poet really likes beans! I don't think I could even name 5 beans off the top of my head. Although the last stanza isn't a real type of bean, it adds a humorous twist and keeps the entire poem from sounding like a normal grocery list.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering, what are jumping beans and shelly beans??
I never knew how many different type of bean there were! I enjoyed how the last line of the first stanza, and the last line of the second stanza rhyme. Congratulations and good work!
