Gerald Giraffe
plays golf
on the green.
It's the strangest
sight
I've ever seen.
His legs are spread
in a golfer's stance.
And he wears
plaid golfer pants.
Perhaps he'll make
a hole-in-one.
Gerald Giraffe thinks
playing golf is fun.
Happy Friday. There are a lot of "G"s in this poem. Is there a "g" in your name? The name of your town? Street? Can you write your own "G" poem? I hope you have giggling fun writing.
Would be fun to see what children might draw after hearing this! I like the idea of using consonants to brainstorm words & then write.
ReplyDeleteAgain I an just picture him in his plaid pants playing golf... you do a good job if I can see him. cloey
ReplyDeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the giraffe and poem on a "golf shirt" as well as a picture book of course.
This is VERY visual. Now, start on the V's!
ReplyDeleteA giraffe wearing plaid golfer pants - now that's a sight to behold. Fun fun poem, thanks for sharing this Joy.
ReplyDeleteThis might be my favorite of your bestiary poems so far!
ReplyDeleteHi, Joy--
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about your relationship with Antonio--even without knowing much of his work, I'm a little surprised. But we all carry a lot of varied foundation beneath our Gerald Giraffeness!
Wouldn't it be fun to have a little book of poems like this for the kindergarteners in my class?! Nicely done, a hole-in-one!
