Javalina Paul

It was just June

when a jocular javelina

by the name of Paul

took a jumbo leap

and jumped over my wall.

He rooted all the jicama,

jogged round the jacaranda,

and did the jitter bug

in my wandering jew.

And then when he was though,

He ate everything

with joyful grace

before I could

chase him

from my place.

     Writing with "j"s is tough, especially finding "j"s in the middle of words.  And you would think with a name like JOY, I'd be an expert of "j" words.  I thought about writing about jugglers, court jesters and jousting, but here is where I ended up.  Would you like to try writing your own poem about medieval times?  Or how about a time period not current.  Maybe the future?  Can you make a list poem from all the "J" words you know.  Have fun.
