Day 30-Hyperbole Poem

 Day 30-Hyperbole Poem

Poetry that stretches the truth is tons of fun

I can write it all day long

There are millions of things we say

Every time we sing a nursery song

Rock-a-bye baby in a treetop

Is usually considered a crime

Whoever called a star a diamond

Must have had buckets of wine

So think of your years as a child

And forever sing those songs

Don’t ever forget to stretch the truth

And you will never go wrong!

 Day 29-Poem in My Pocket

Poems are like photographs 

They each paint a picture

They can be beautiful or tragic 

But that’s how life is, and we live it anyway. 

Poetry and photographs are art

Art helps us to feel emotions

Let your emotions soar!

What’s a parrot with a potty-mouth?

A dirty birdy

What’s a puppy who’s been playing in the rain?

A soggy doggy

Day 23-Free Verse Poem

 Day 23-Free Verse Poem

Words can be like weapons 

They can cut like a knife

We can use them in anger

And cause others strife

But we need to be better 

Our language to use

Spread hope and share love

It’s all what we choose

Our world is in turmoil

Don’t add to the gloom

Be kind and understanding 

Be the best in the room

Day 22-"All About Me" Poem

 Day 22-“All About Me” Poem

Vicki

Faithful, true, loving, and joyful. 

Sister of Dolly, David, Valerie, and Jamie as well as Steven, Karen, Kathy, Kris, Karleen, and Patty. 

Lover of Peter, libraries, and the Lord

Who feels sorry for mistakes, happy for family, joyful in the Gospel

Who needs love in return, the feel of the sun on her face, and to see kindness in the world. 

Who gives her heart fully, love to all, and understanding 

Who fears not being enough, not doing enough, and not loving enough

Who would love to see more of the world and true love for all

Resident of this beautiful world

Day 14-I Wish, But I Am Poem

 Day 14-I Wish, But I Am Poem

I wish I could sing more

Like when in our singing group from our teen years

And I dream of singing together again

I am missing those days long ago

We used to have so much fun 

But now we live far from the others

I’m glad I can still sing with my husband’s guitar playing

But now, I’d love a chance to be “Morning Sunshine” once more.

Day 9-Rhyme Royal Poem

 Day 9-Rhyme Royal Poem

Having technology can be a pain,

There are good things and bad things about it.

When “PCs” lock up and make you insane,

You’ll want to throw it out, give it a hit.

You will cry and you’ll shout and swear a bit.

Then, lo, it reboots and you give a hoot,

You no longer need to give it the boot!

 Day 8-Octopoem

Hanna

Her favorite color was the blue of Little Mermaid’s tail

The seasons never really mattered to her, just being warm

Home was her favorite place to be, everything she loved was there

She didn’t like the cold, it hurt her hands

She preferred wearing stretchy pants and Ariel shirts

She loved cuddling with her Daddy on the couch

Her favorite TV show was Full House and Mary-Kate and Ashley videos

She loved McDonald’s burger and knew the Golden Arches!

Writing poetry is fun

It’s a joy for ev’ryone

Each day, try and get it done

Rhyming in the sun

Here’s another quick one. 

This poetry form is odd

Like the dodo, now extinct

It stretches your fingers wide 

As you count each word

Day 6-Pyramid Poem

 Day 6-Pyramid Poems

I tried 2 slightly different forms I found on the internet.

Photographs

Old photographs

Old photographs teach

Old photographs teach history

Old photographs teach history graphically

Old photographs teach history graphically so we can learn lessons and not repeat them.

Puppies

Cute puppies

Cute brown puppies

Cute brown puppies play

Cute brown puppies play happily

Cute brown puppies play happily in the grass

Puppies are like soft squishy stuffed animals you want to cuddle

If I were a puppy, I would want belly rubs all day long.

       The loving Savior of us all

His body was placed in a borrowed grave

    He came forth from the Garden Tomb

          Now we can live again

              He paid the price

                      Easter
