Day 7

This is my tribute to Don Rickles who died yesterday at the age of 90. 

Day 7- Alliteration Poem

There never was a funnier man
Then the fabulous friendly Don Rickles
He could get a ferocious titter 
and his audience atwitter      
By kissing Ol' Blue Eyes for giggles.

He'll always be Mr. Potato Head to me
With his persnickety pretty partner Mrs P
Whenever they got in a pickle
He'd give us a tickle
With his perfectly placed repartee.

Day 6

Day 6- If I Were and If You Were Poems

If I were a photograph and you were a camera
I'd want you to develop my image so glamorous!

If you were a book to read and I was a Library
I'd find you on my shelves and not in a cemetery!

Limerick for Magna

Here's another Limerick for Limerick Day

We live in the town of Magna 
Which is not the same as Magma
It's a great place to live
There's lots of initiative
To be happy and live in Magna!

Day 30-anyway I want it Family History Poem

Day 30-Family History

I recently was given an album
Of photographs of the past
It's full of lovely photos
Of ancestors who were steadfast

There's men in topcoats and suits
And women in high style fashion
And babes wearing cute outfits
When their lives were full of passion

These photographs are amazing
The only problem is this
None of them are labeled
So, no names have come to us

My advice to all you people
Is to label all your pictures
So someone someday will know
Your name in all it's grandeur

Day 28-Poetweet

Whenever we create anything, I wonder how alike it is to God's creations. We come close whenever we create a child. We are His creations, and we are glorious. 

Day 28-Poetweet

Whenever we create anything, I wonder how alike it is to God's creations. We come close whenever we create a child. We are His creations, and we are glorious.

Had to rewrite it. Too long. 

When we create anything, we wonder how it mimics God's creations. We come closest when we create life. How glorious are His works. Creation.

Day 27- diatelle poem

Tell
A tale
Do not fail
Tell of your life
Or of a Dragon’s Tail
With his scales of purple Loosestrife
The sky is so dark, cut it with a knife
If the story's of you, there may have been a bell
To wake you up to play a rousing fife
To please someone’s husband or wife 
As they take the fast rail
Happiness rife
Without fail
Ships sail
Dwell

Day 26-Rictameter Poem

Day 26-Rictameter Poem

Lucky
Missing Hanna 
She wasn't her Autism
Her short life had a grand purpose
To teach and show us how to love others
We learned to be better from her
Her legacy is love
She lived, we love
Lucky

Day 25-pensee poetry

Penguins
Cute and funny
Look like they're wearing a tux
Their waddling makes us giggle
Do they make a good pet?

Day 24-Limerick

There once was a girl named Vick
Who thought she could write a lim'rick
She tried and she tried
Yet she couldn't get it right
So she got quite a crick in her neck

Day 23-Quinzain Poem

I came up with a few. 

Babysitting is so fun
They want to play games 
All night long


The youngest generation
Is now so plugged in
Is it good?


Then in honor of Talk Like Shakespeare Day:

Grandchildren are passing fair
I prithee to believe
Bless'd are we

Day 22-Nature Color Poem

Day 23-Nature Color Poem

Nature is a rainbow Heavenly Father has given
Everywhere you look, it's like you are in heaven

He gave us yellow roses to brighten up our day
And blue skies above us in this, the latter-day

We also have green grass that provides us room to play
Our Heavenly Father loves us, earth his grand display.

Day 21- Poem in My Pocket

I have to preface this. I have a blog called Life in the Library, that until today, I hadn't really considered what that meant. Because of a friend's blog, I found an image I want to use on my blog of a circus. I haven't quite figured out how to use it yet, but it still made me consider writing a poem today on what that means to me.

Life in the Library

Working in a library is sometimes
Like being in the Circus
There's clowns who make you laugh
And wild animals who make you cringe
Then there's a high wire act
When a child screams unendingly
But the most beautiful part is
Like a knife thrower when
A child suddenly gets how wonderful
It is to be able to read!

Day 20-Grammar Poem

Dogs
Going in and going out
Driving us crazy
Treating us like doormen
I wish we had a revolving door
