LUCKY ME!
I found a penny
walking to school.
I felt so lucky.
I felt so cool.
There's just one problem,
don't know what to do.
Does this penny
belong to you?
I did find a penny on my morning walk and started composing this poem. I had fun with the idea of the phrase "walking to school" modifying the penny and not the "I." If those two phrases are reversed in order it makes more sense. Pardon my pun.
Always, when I find money, I think of the person who lost the money. Was the money needed? Will it be missed?
Did you ever lose money? What is something else you lost or misplaced? Can you write a poem about that today? Or would you like to write a poem about something you found? Have fun writing.

One little packrat
wanting to be cool,
thought he'd go swimming
in my swimming pool.
The sun was shining brightly.
The weather it was hot.
He thought he'd take a little drink
but it isn't what he got.
He leaned over
to get himself a drink,
and oops, the packrat
fell into the brink.
It is definitely hot here. It is supposed to be 102 again today. I guess we won't see weather under 100 until the monsoons come to cool us off. Can you write a poem today about being hot? Or how about one that answers the question, how hot is it? Have fun.
