First, brainstorm:
What types of friendship are there?
What qualities do you think a friend should have?
Is friendship a form of love?
Why do we need friends?
TASK: Write a poem imagining a friend who comes to tea.
What do you eat and drink? Where do you meet? What do you say to each other?
Who is the person: real, a character from fiction, imaginary?
I wrote a poem about a Tiger who came to tea in a beach hut, a cross between Judith Kerr’s Tiger and Darcy
