LAUGH

A laugh
happens
when
something
funny
reaches your
tummy.

      Some thing go up, and some come down.  This poem reads from the bottom up because that is the way a Jack-in-the-box would spring up.  This is another spine poem.  Can you tell I'm having fun with this form?  I'm thinking this poem, or a variation on it would make a good concrete poem, too.  Have fun writing your own poem today.  Happy Saturday.

A WILD RIDE

A fairy rides on a toad 
who is white.
She giggles and laughs
and sings with delight.

They jump through the forest
where her flower beds loom.
And she whispers to me
It's magic that makes
my garden bloom.

Her pansies are bigger
than that white toad,
as together they leap
on down the road.


     Elves, brownies, pixies and fairies, all kinds of wee folk live in the forest.  When she isn't riding on her toad, what do you think the fairy is doing?  Can you write a poem about that today?  Have fun?

Happy Days

Ms Rosa Bloom
Mr. Chipper Birdsong
sing in praises
all day long.

How they are happy!
How they laugh!
I'm glad they're here
to lighten my path.
