Day 19-Clerihew Poetry

This is a story about our grandson and dogs
It's a way to begin my monologue 
We had fun watching them make a mess
As the little babe fed the four-footed rest!

Another Cinquain

Another one

Reading
Is what I love
My imagination can soar
Gives me wings of flight to my thoughts
Good books

One more

Another one I just wrote, while thinking of my Savior.

I know the Lord is there
He answers all my prayers
He's always shown He cares
He teaches me to share
His love can never err
I'll put my arm to the square
I strive to avoid Satan's snares
And end my life as His heir

Day 26

Day 26-monorhyme 

Coming up with a poem that rhymes
Is all about the rhythm and time
And making it sound like a beautiful chime
As in "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme"

It really isn't such a great literary climb
To be able to rhyme in the daytime
But when it carries into your needed sleep time 
It may have now become a bedtime crime!!

Day 15-Octopoem

Okay. I decided to have fun with this today. 

Day15-Octopoem

My Octopoem Octopus

My friend like to change color a lot
He doesn't care what season it is
His home is down deep in the ocean
If it's stormy, he's not happy
He doesn't wear any clothes
His couch the kelp on the ocean floor
He'd love to watch Sponge-Bob, if he had a TV
He'll eat anything he can fit in his beak

Day 13-Nonet Poem

Day 13-Nonet Poem

We've dogs who are crazy in our house
For whatever reason, who knows?
They run around in circles
Until they are dizzy
Then plop on the ground
They make us laugh
And then sigh,
They're done!
Whew!

Day 12-Shardorama Poem

My poem for today. 
There are books
That draw you right in
And some books
Turn you off
And then my favorite reads
Are ones that inspire.

Grandchildren are fun
They pull your heartstrings one day
Even when they destroy.

Day 10-Acrostic Poem

Day 10-Acrostic Poem

So happy I have siblings
I love them every one
Because they are my family my
Life is fully blest
I'll use them as examples and
Never let them go
God gave me a good family
So glad that they're the best.

Day 9- fractured nursery rhyme

Here's the original:

A tisket, a tasket 
A green and yellow basket
I wrote a letter to my love
And on the way I dropped it

I dropped it, I dropped it
And on the way I dropped it
A little boy picked it up
And put it in his pocket 

And now mine:

A tisket, a tasket
A ball and then a basket
I put the ball up in the sky
And missed that silly basket

I missed it, I missed it
I missed that silly basket
Somebody else picked it up
And they didn't miss the basket!

Day 4 I am poem

Day 4
I am a happy loving child of God
I wonder if I show enough love to others
I hear my heart beating a staccato
I see my life when I'm done on earth
I want to be crowned with glory
I am a happy loving child of God

I pretend that I know what I'm doing
I feel Like I get better at it each day
I touch the hearts of others
I worry that they won't understand
I cry when I think of the heartache around me
I am a happy loving child of God

I understand my Heavenly Father loves me
I say I am all that he needs
I dream of His arms around me
I try to show love all around
I hope for a better tomorrow
I am a happy loving child of God

Day 3-Triplet

Listening to the prophet speak
Is something we should do this week
To get the answers that we seek

Another one


I see the red roses blooming
I hear the birds chirping in the trees
I feel the warm sunshine on my face
I smell the new mown grass clippings
I taste the sweet berries from the vine. 

Day 2-spring Senses Poem

Spring looks like green grass
Spring sounds like birds singing
Spring feels like warm sunshine
Spring smells like lawn clippings
Spring tastes like sweet berries
