Build My House

I'll build my house
at the the top of the mountain.
I'll build it where
the song birds sing.
I'll build my house
at the top of the mountain
where the white clouds settle
into a ring.


     Some say that the white clouds that settle into a ring around the top of a mountain is the breath of Puff the magic dragon creating a magical lei to circle the peak.  I love the thought of that.  What magical thing can you write a poem about today?  Have fun.

    1. Go Matt,
      Now it's your turn. What will you write your poem about?

  2. Hi Joy,
    I love the magical comments you mention. Do you think you could make them part of the poem? Or perhaps, you could create a kingdom for Puff the magic dragon in a different poem. I'd love to see you consider it.

    1. Linda,
      I did write a poem about this, the cloud lei circling the mountain, about a year ago. But you're right, the magical story might make a lovely picture book.h

  4. Joy,
    I'm so glad you did a magical one too. I do believe I recall it now that you say so. You're on top of it--the mountain that is!
