A bag is a bag,
a kind of sack
for holding your lunch
or afternoon snack.
Used for art projects
or wrapping up gifts,
a bag is an instrument
for playing your riffs.
A bag is a kite
or makes scary masks.
A bag is useful
for all sorts of tasks.
Bags in all sizes,
plain or cute,
but a paper bag won't do
for a wet bathing suit.
Today try writing your poem on a paper bag, then give it to a friend. Have fun writing.
Today is Poetry Friday and you can find more poetry posts over at the poetry roundup on Amy Ludwig Vanderwater's blog, The Poem Farm. Go here for all the posts. Thank you, Amy, for hosting us this week. Today I'll be as happy as a mynah bird in a papaya tree.
