| "Josephine" by Joy Acey, 2015 |
Let's go shopping.
What do I see?
Put them in my basket
1, 2, 3.
Let's go shopping.
What are your picks?
Put them in my basket
4, 5, 6.
Let's go shopping.
Everything is fine.
Put them in my basket.
7, 8, 9.
One more thing
that makes 10.
Empty the basket.
Count again.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
This poem is inspired by Josephine, a little girl I met while shopping today. This is also a counting poem. Imagine you have a magic basket. Everything you put into the basket multiplies. What would you put into the basket? For your poetry challenge today, can you write a poem about your magic basket and one thing you put in the basket? Have fun writing.
Happy Friday the 13th. Today is Poetry Friday and the round up is being hosted by my friend Bridget Magee on her blog Wee Words for Wee Ones
