Persuasive Poems--Models for students

Be Brave
I saw a movie
That made wonder if I was brave at all.
To be brave you must step out
And take a risk.
All it takes is 20 seconds—
20 seconds of not caring what
Everyone thinks.
You want to?
You must.
You will
Be brave, today!

Wasted
It’s terrible what we do.
Everyone just wastes too much.
If we had what we had
Then we wouldn’t need so much.
According to the experts
It might all be dying
It’s up to you to save its life.

Hungry?
You have just got to read this book.
What? You won’t even take a look?
Do you know what you’re missing?
Everyone’s read it; you think we’re just messing
Around with you?
It’s not just one book, but two…
No, wait it’s three.
If you’d read it, you would see.
It’s got adventure, love, war, and peace.
Once you read the first, you’ll be hooked and need
To read the rest.
This type of hunger is the best.

Just Do it!
You want it, you need it;
Like honey for Poo Bear;
You could do, you should do;
Like a kid with a candy-stare;
It’s better—it’s best;
Just do it like all the rest.
