WHO AM I?

Floating in your soda,
a cool drink tastes so nice.
I am frozen water,
I am a cube of __ __ __.


It is hot today.  I started the morning with iced coffee and I've kept the cup going adding more ice and different kinds of liquid.  I have water and ice in the cup right now.  I went out to the book store earlier today and left my cup in the car.  When I got back in the car, the ice had melted but the wet drink still tasted wonderful.  Sometimes it is hard to stay hydrated in the desert.
  The last line of my riddle is actually a reversal.  Can you write your own ice cube poem today?  What rhymes with cube?  Have fun writing.  Happy Sunday.

Sandy's Destruction

One neighbor brought milk.

another brought ice

In times of crisis, like this

I realize most people are nice.

     Let's be creative today.  Can you write a poem about Hurricane Sandy, or about things you can do to help?  Do have fun.

PAIN

When I shut

the car door

I caught my fingers

and started to roar.

Mom ran

and got the ice

but the blue on my fingers

doesn't look nice.

Now I hardly

feel the pain

I surely won't

do that again.

    Do you remember a time when you were in pain?  Can you write a poem about that today?
