Sometimes the best thing to do for Red Ribbon Week is for students to make their own poetry. Using the old Roses are red, violets are blue poem is easy for students to make up their own rhyme. Below are some examples.

Roses are red, violets are blue, I never wonÂ't take drugs, do you?

Roses are red, Night is black, I wonÂ't take drugs because IÂ'm smarter than that.

Roses are red, trees are forest green, taking lots of drugs could make me real mean.

Roses are red sheets are white, someone offered me drugs, say no IÂ'd okay.

Roses are red some bears are brown, drug use any time that my parents are really frown.

Use all colors, gray, yellow, gold, silver, khaki, camouflage pink, clear, lime, striped, very pink, rust, peach, fresh cream, aqua, red, tan, purple, violet, red, white and blue, black, red, blue, sky blue, light paintings. Then some students will go right in the dictionary and find others.

Others, like aquamarine, blue, beige, chocolate, coral, red, salmon, turquoise, fuschia, brick, honey dew, indigo, ivory, lavender, lemon chiffon, cyan, linen, magenta, brown, rose, moccasin, Peru, sienna, teal, thistle, and many others.

If really want to see the color you can go online and in the search box enter the HTML color names and will bring you to a site that shows the child the actual color.

After trying something simple like the Roses are Red poem they try to have some other forms of poetry. The more students are familiar or taught in elementary school is haiku, tongue twisters and rhymes.

Have students try other styles of poetry like haiku. Haiku poetry is an unrhymed Japanese verse. Seventeen syllables in all, three rhymed lines of five, seven and five syllables. Usually written in present tense. It is rumored that the 5/7/5 rule was made to school children to understand and learn this kind of poetry. Although this is typically used to describe the seasons that works well with the description of results drug use. Or does well to describe things to do besides drugs.

A twister would be fun, too. Students love to do tongue twisters, because they may be silly and not have to do a lot of sense. Alliteration can be taught at this time because that is what they are tongue twisters. Tongue twisters are composed of lines that are difficult to say quickly. The poem should tie your tongue in knots.

Another type of poetry that could address the issue of drugs is one of Limerick. A Limerick rhyme is a humorous poem of five lines. The rhyme scheme is AABB.

All these types of poetry could be successfully used for students to express their feelings about drugs. Or they could use to express their fears about drugs, his desire to stay away from drugs. Poetry is just a way for express their feelings without fear. Red Ribbon week is an ideal time to teach poetry and have these feelings expressed.
