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

In this one Michael talks about writing about family or people you know, you can watch him perform the poem My Brother Is On The Floor Roaring here

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.’
