stops in the grass
his red nose glows brightly
thinking of reindeer and Merry
Christmas.

Today's poem is a form poem--a cinquain. It's a five line poem with 2 syllables in the first and last lines. There are four syllables in the second line, six in the third and eight in the fourth line. Seeing the bright red nose on the mongoose made me think of a re-telling of the Rudolph story set in Africa with eight mongoose instead of reindeer. Do you think Santa could be a Masai?
Can you try writing your own cinquain today? Have fun working on your own poems.
Retell it, Joy. Sounds like fun! I bet Rudolph would even approve.
ReplyDeleteRudolph the red nosed, nine banded mongoose, would shine in the re-telling. Instead of a sleigh he rides a skateboard.
DeleteVery cute. I love the cinquain form. I've never seen a mongoose before. We are all getting a wildlife education reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteRosi,
DeleteThis was my first mongoose sighting too. We were eating breakfast on an open lanai and 6 of them appeared. At first I thought they were cats.
