Bartholomew the Buffalo
liked to have fun
blowing bubbles
with his chewing gum.
He blew 26 pieces
and caused quite a stir.
His bubble, bigger than a building,
burst in his fur.
Isn't "B" a delightful letter? Beautiful, bountiful, busy, and briany? Can you write your own "B" poem? If you take a bubble bath, you might find inspiration, or try eating bologna.
Bologna for sure. Haven't had it for years. YOur wonderful daily poems reminds me that I want to interview you for a guest blog. Haven't forgotten.
ReplyDeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteWhat an image? Why 26 pieces of gum? One for each letter of the alphabet? Does this bring ideas for other poems? I hope so. Bring them on!
Hi Joy, such a fun poem indeed! I was suddenly reminded of Edward Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies with his own alphabet poems with children ending up in grisly unspeakable ends - in startling contrast to this poem that you just shared. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea for a poetry-writing challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for stopping by. Myra, I do remember Edward Gorey's pictures and poems. Sure wish I could draw as well as he did.
ReplyDeleteCarol, rustle up the questions for that interview and I'll be happy to answer them.
I've been debating all day over a dinosaur or a dragon for my next letter of the alphabet. I think it will be a dragon simply because that is one less syllable and will be easier to rhyme. We'll see.
Mary, if you take the challenge, I'd love to see your poem. I usually end each daily poem with some kind of challenge.
