Michael Rosen's Poetry Workshop is a way to understand more about Michael's poems and create your own.

In this one Michael tells you how he wrote his poem I've Had This Shirt
You can watch it here too: youtu.be/aND430iJn8s


Michael says:
In these poetry workshop videos I explore how or why I wrote the poem and suggest some ways people can write a poem.

One way any of us - child or adult - can write poems is by hearing or reading a poem and following that up by thinking of the poem as a question.
So we can think up a reply.

When we reply, we can say, ‘I’ll write a reply and it’ll be a bit like the poem I’ve just heard.’
