A capybara
rested by the river
watching the waters flow.
He thought about
going swimming
but he didn't want to go.
A cattle bird sat on his head
eating the ticks and lice.
"Oh thanks," said the capybara,
"that really is quite nice."
The Capybara is world's largest rodent. Some call it a giant guinea pig.
This is another picture from my Peruvian trip. Where are you going for a summer vacation, or where would you like to go? Write today's poem about that. And remember you are supposed to be having fun writing your poems. So, if you don't like my suggestion,write something else. The important thing is to write early and often.
