MOUTH PROBLEMS

Sometimes I stutter.
I hem and I haw.
My tongue gets stuck.
I can't move my jaw.

My mouth gets mixed up
and I say well and er.
Till my brain catches up
so I can speak clearer. 

   Do you ever have times when you just can't get your mouth to work right?  Can you remember a time when you said the wrong thing?  Or what you said came out all wrong?  Have you seen this happen to someone else?  Can you write a poem about this today?  Have fun thinking about this poem.

Children's poetry is filled with laughter.

HOW TO MAKE A FAIRY GARDEN

Look for a quiet spot
under the canopy of a tall tree.
If there are dead leaves
that's good, if there is moss
in the shade it is even better.

Scatter stones
to shape a walkway.
Carve a log into a house.
Use two rocks to make a bench,
others for some chairs.
Add a pine cone or dried mushroom
for a table.

Use sticks to form a fence.
Do you want to dig a wee well?

Then put out a sign saying
Fairies Welcome
and hope one takes up residence.
Plant seeds of happiness
and watch your garden bloom.



     I'm being fanciful and I invite you to join me.  This is a "how to" poem that gives directions.  Can you write your own "how to" poem today? Perhaps you'd like to write about how to catch a fairy.  Have fun.
Let your imagination soar.

Flying rhyme

Sitting in the airport

wondering what to do.

Think I'll just dash a line

and send it off to you.

    Hey, you know some days it takes a little longer to be creative.  I'll go do something to feed the well and hopefully tomorrow will bring a better poem.  But, the important thing is to write something everyday, right?  What can you do today to feed your creative well?  What ever it is, I hope you have fun.  If you've got a great idea, please share it.
