ROUND

copyright 2015, Joy Acey

Round

Round ball,
round orange,
round sphere,
what do you find?
I keep turning circles,
can't make up my mind.

   A round shape is one of the first shapes a young child learns.  Look around you.  What round shapes do you see?  Which one do you like the best?  Can you write your own poem about a shape?  Have fun writing.

Respect yourself and others.  When I respect myself, just the way I am...I can love and respect others just the way they are.  Sharon Hackleman

I WISH

I wish I were
a soccer player
kicking the ball
upon the grass
and if you kicked
the ball to me
I promise
I will pass.


     I'm still having fun writing "I wish..." poems.  It is Saturday and I'm watching the World Cup soccer games, so this is what you get.  Would you like to try writing your own soccer poem?  Have a great weekend.

Baby's Present

 
                                Can    You                                   
guess
what
 is this gift under the Christmas
tree, wrapped in pretty  paper
with a shiny   red bow?  It is a
present, not   for me. The   gift
  tag says, it is for BABY. If you
shake the square box , can you
guess? It hardly makes a sound.
It   does  not rattle, it only rolls.
That  is  its  only  noise,  except
for  a   tinkling bell  that   rings
with a muffled sound.  It is soft.
It is round.Baby will surely clap
with glee, when he finally  gets
to see what is inside this pressy.


      So could you guess what present Baby is getting under the Christmas tree?  Can you see the ball inside the package?  I do hope this present presents the way it shows up on my screen, but if you are viewing this on your cell phone, I know the letters wrap.  It is supposed to look like a green wrapped Christmas present with a red ribbon and bow.  Inside you should be able to see the light blue ball that is Baby's present.   I still haven't got the bow on the top right, every time I start to adjust that spacing, an extra blank line is inserted.  RATS!  This is a shaped prose poem.  Can you write your own concrete poem for a Christmas object?
