What type of poem is this?
I made a meme this morning.
I posted it online.
(I asked my mom’s permission.
She said that it was fine.)
Then people started sharing it.
The next thing that I knew,
my meme had spread around the world.
It grew, and grew, and grew!
By lunch my meme went viral.
It had a billion views.
By dinnertime the TV had it
on the evening news.
I earned a penny, maybe two,
from every single share,
and, by the time I went to bed,
I was a millionaire.
I thought of making one more meme
that might go even higher.
But, nah, I’m nearly nine years old.
I think I’ll just retire.
— Kenn Nesbitt

I own a big fat cat-
The fattest for miles around.
Wherever there's lots of food,
That's where he'll be found.
He's really good at eating.
It's a talent, I suppose.
I'm sure if he keeps at it
He'd win the talent shows.
I own a big fat cat-
He weighs at least a ton.
He couldn't run to save his life.
Yes, he isn't much fun.
His favourite room's the kitchen.
(I'm sure we all know why.)
He eats just about everything,
So that's why, with a sigh...
I'd like to tell you, Teacher,
I'd like to tell you straight,
I might have "accidentally" dropped
My homework in his plate.

What type of poem is this?
Peace is...
When you are outside on a nice warm day
With a cold glass of yellow lemonade.
Slurp, slurp, slurp.
Feeling the warm sun on my back,
Rubbing my hands through the wet green grass,
Listening to the birds singing a distance away.
Quiet...
Now that's PEACE!
