MY CLUB HOUSE

I'm building a club house
in my back yard
with cardboard boxes
it shouldn't be hard.

I'll hoist up a flag,
watch it unfurl
with words to say--
JUST FOR GIRLS.

I'll invite my friends,
bring in my toys
and we can try to keep out
the pesky boys.
(Like my brother,
who is sure
to yell to my mother,
all through the day,
"Sister won't let me play.")

     Have you ever built a club house out of boxes?  Have you built a train, a boat, or a space station?  Can you write a poem today about what you might build if you had the boxes?  Who would you invite to play with you?  What would you do?  Would your club house have rules?  Have fun with your imagination and try writing a poem.  Have an adventure today.

The Elf

A happy elf
worked all year long
and as she worked
she sang this  song:

"Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas,
I make toys
for good
girls and for boys."

All year long
she sang happily
making toys 
for you and me.

Now she rests
on a shelf
glad to be
a hard working elf.

    Happy Poetry Friday.  What are you working on today?  Can you write a poem about Santa's elves today?

    Today's Poetry Roundup is hosted by Robyn Hood Black. Thanks for stopping by today.  For more fun read all the poems I've posted this week.  I have a video with Scarves, audio with two other poems this week.
