Hippo, hippo,
hippopotami
down by the river
acting shy.
You can hear them
grunt and groan
as they go
splashing by.
Hippo, hippo,
hippopotami.
I wrote this poem because I like saying hippopotami.
Are there any words you like the feel of in your mouth and the sound in
your ear? Can you write a poem today with words that you like--bubble
gum, buffalo, beautiful, caramel? Those are a few of mine. Today is a
great day for making a list of words your mouth likes. (Why do so many
of my favorites relate to food?)
Have a super-dee-dooper day writing a poem.
"Hippopotami" is a fun word! Nice sounds in this poem. I like the photos too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tabatha. I had the best time taking the photos of our Kenyan safari. The trip was a great learning experience. I highly recommend a trip to Kenya for anyone who wants to see wild animals in their natural habitat.
