Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day, Dad.
You're my hero and I'm glad
when you take me to the park
and push my swing until dark.

I like when we see parades
and listen to the marching band.
I'm glad today is Father's Day.
I think my dad is grand.

    Did you write a poem for your dad today?  Did you do something to honor the men in your life?  Try writing a poem about what you did today.  Have fun writing.  Happy Sunday.

MY BOOK

Oh, look!
A good book.
Just what I need,
Something to read.
Not too gory,
an exciting story.
A dashing hero,
off he goes.
Fit and hale
for an exciting tale.
He does daring deeds.
I love to read.


    This is another "thinkie," the start of a poem, a draft.  I've been at the Sixth Annual Tucson Book Festival again today.  I attended several exciting workshops and got to hear several great children's authors read.  It was an exciting day.  So, I'm sorry this is late, but it has been a day I would call: feeding the pump.
Can you write your own poem today about something that makes you proud?
