The Hairy Eyeball

Auntie Dee, copyright 2015

My Auntie Dee
has a bushy brow.
When she looks at me,
HOLY COW!

I'm up in a tree
where I like to crawl
when Auntie gives me,
the hairy eyeball.

"Get down from there!"
I heard her yell.
It scared me so
that I

         OUCH! 


     Do you know what the hairy eyeball is?  It's that look someone gives you to tell you to stop doing what you are doing.  I'll bet your teacher has given the hairy eyeball, or maybe a librarian when people are being too noisy.  Has anyone ever directed the hairy eyeball at you?  Have you ever given someone the hairy eyeball? What caused it?  How did you feel?  Can you write a poem today about that situation?  Have fun writing.

My friends come in many sizes
and every shape and hue.
I do not judge them by how they look
but by the things they do.

    Who is your best friend?  What does he/she look like?  What things does this person do to let you know they are your friend?  What do you and your friend do together?  Can you write a poem about this?  Have fun writing.
