Trick-or-treaters stand at my door,
keep demanding,
wanting
some
cookies, candy
apples
gum,
leaving nothing--
not a
crumb.
Today's poem is another zeno. I told you I thought they were addictive. I worked with some seniors writing poetry today in their retirement community. I shared the zeno form with them. Lee Chutkow and Arelene Sikkink helped to write this poem.
You can find directions for writing your own zeno on last Thursday's post. You can read more zenos on Michelle Barnes' blog at Todays Little Ditty.
Can you find friends to write a join poem with today? Have fun with poetry.
Joy,
ReplyDeleteThose were some greedy trick-or-treaters.
So cool that you shared this poetry experience with a retirement community. You're are so giving!
Linda, I always find that when I'm teaching I get more than I give. I really do enjoy sharing the excitement of poetry with folks.
DeleteThanks for being a loyal reader.
