BANANA SMILES
copyright 2014, Joy Acey
If I were a banana here's what I would do, I'd lay on my side to smile at you.
I'm being silly today and playing with my food. Can you write a silly poem today? Have fun.
I don't know, Rosi. I looked at my banana this morning and it looked like I'd drawn a row boat or a pea pod on the thing. Now you know how the Owl and the Pussycat ended up in a pea green boat. Thanks for your comment. Yup, somedays I think we should all be allowed to be silly.
Thanks for stopping by Catherine. And yes, you did correctly identify the baby carrots for eyebrows. Now let's see:
If I were two cherries Here's what I'd do I'd twinkle and wink just for you.
So what do you think? Maybe I need to write a whole collection of fruit and vegetables as art poems--of course then I'd want Debbi Ohi to do the illustrations. Her re-claimed art doodles are so much fun. Are you familiar with her work?
Cute. What a great prompt for kids to think about writing poetry.
ReplyDeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteI love your playfulness with food poetry. Hope to see a published collection in your future.

Cute, Joy! If I were a carrot I'd dance above those eyes.
