I love you
up and down
from the top
of your head
to the tips
of your toes.
I love you
round and round,
front side
back side
up and down.
I love you
in and out
and all about
my love knows
no bounds.
Sun rise
sunset,
do I love you?
You bet.
I'll always love you
more than crackerjack.
I'll love you
all the way
to Pluto and back.
I love you.
Dear Friends,
Thank you for hanging in there with me while I cope with a broken wrist. On Tuesday I go back to see the orthopedist, and hopefully the swelling has gone down enough that they will be able to put a cast on my wrist. For now, I'm typing this post with the fingers of one hand. It is terribly slow and frustrating.
Thank you for all the prayers, card and good wishes sent to me. You are the best readers anyone has ever had. I appreciate you.
Your poetry challenge for today is to write a poem about something that is broken and doesn;t work. Have fun writing.
After midnight, they say, dreams come true.

LOVE POEM
I don't know why
a caterpillar turns
into a butterfly.
Or why the black comma
of a polliwog
turns into a frog.
All I know
is beauty can come, unexpectedly,
from the most unusual places
like love.
Which is why
I'm writing
this poem
for you.
I don't know why, but love poems are hard for me to write. If I set out to write one, I always feel like I'm blocked. So many poems have been written about love, that it is hard for me to find something new to write about, or maybe it is just hard for me to expose my feelings. I don't know. All I know is when poetry contests have a category for "love poems," I always pass and skip to the next category. Your poetry challenge for today is to write a poem about all the things you love. I doesn't have to rhyme. Try to use all of your senses in the list. Do you like school, or summer vacation? What is about vacation that you love? Have fun making your list. If you'd like to share, leave your list in the comments below. Just remember this is a site intended for children and I will censor anything I deem inappropriate for children under 13 years of age.
Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better. Robert Frost, "Birches," 1916.
