I'm stirring a pot of poetry stew,
who knows what the words
are going to do.
Mary went to school
with a great blue ox.
The crafty fox
jumped from his box.
The three deaf mice
threw out their canes.
In Entsy Spider hopes
it will rain.
Rock-a-bye, baby
her cradle has sold.
Peas porridge hot
is served up cold.
Jack and Jill
waltzed off to Spain.
One fish, Two fish
swam down the drain.
What are these verses
all going to do
when they are served up
as poetry stew?
I've been having fun playing with mixing up nursery rhymes this morning. Your challenge for today is to try your own verse, mixing up a nursery rhyme.
Go ahead and be silly. It is fun and feels good. Let's get poetry crazy today.
Listen to that small voice inside you crying out to be a poem.
