Beginnings and Endings

To have a good poem you have to have a good begining and ending. Beginnings and endings are important because they have to make the reader get hooked in. For example
 * Monster Soup **

** A beast as big as half the sky **
** silently began to cry: ** ** "How dare these dragonettes stay cool? ** ** I'm nothing but their swimming pool! **  ** The pain in my poor jaw is grim. **  ** The sun beats down. The dragons swim. **  ** I need some shade. I hope this group **  ** soon finds the water hot as soup. **  ** Did I say soup? My stomach's hollow. **  ** Maybe I should simply ... swallow." ** ** Margo Lundell ** ** Art - Jacqueline Rogers **
