TWO DOGS

Two dogs

playing in the yard,

panting,

running fast and hard.

Drinking

from their bowl they chug.

On a sisal rope

they both tug.

Two tired dogs

take a rest,

under the porch

in a dirt nest.

     I'm sorry this is late.  Sometime, it just can't be helped.  I'm sitting in a McDonalds having a bacon and egg biscuit for breakfast and enjoying their free WiFi connection.  So, what did you have for breakfast this morning?  Can you write a breakfast poem?  Have fun writing.

Never Ending Poem

Pancakes for breakfast,
pancakes for lunch,
I like pancakes
a bunch,
      Bunch
          BUNCH!


     Now, you might ask, why did I title this a Never Ending Poem?  Because it can have almost unlimited stanzas if you want to play a poetry game.  Each person can add a stanza but first must repeat all the previous stanzas.

Pineapple for breakfast,
pineapple for lunch,
I like pineapple
a bunch,
      Bunch
          BUNCH!

 Think of all the foods you could put into stanzas for this poem.  Or someone could name a topic like citrus fruits, flowers, trees, shoes.  The first person's stanza would have the topic word and then everyone playing could supply an example for the next stanzas.
  This could also work as a jump rope rhyme and everyone who comes in has to add a verse.  Then 

Too many pancakes for lunch,
Too many pancakes for dinner,
I jump rope
to get 
    thinner,
        Thinner,
             THINNER!
  
   You are welcome to leave your verses in the comments.  I hope you are having a good day writing. Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo.  What will you do to celebrate?  Will you write a poem about that?

Happy Mother's Day

Sunday morning,
early and calm.
I'm making breakfast
for my mom.

Mom is waking
in her bed
and that is where
she'll be fed.

Because my mom
is best to me
it's why I want
her day happy.

Muffins

Muffins are tasty.

Muffins are sweet.

They're my favorite

food to eat.

Blueberry,

banana,

poppy seed.

These yummy

muffins

are what

I need.

Be it a mouse,

a moose 

or me,

we eat every

muffin 

that we see.

      Happy Monday.  What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?  Today can you write a poem about one of your favorite foods?
