What a lovely sight!
Pillows, pillows, pillows
on my left
and my right.
Pink, blue, yellow,
brown, green, white.
I have an idea,
let's have a pillow fight
and we don't even have
to wait
for tonight.
Now, I've shown you this toon picture of pillows and presented my poem, but I also wanted to share a poem by my friend Marcia Diane. (She is the person who introduced me to Pippin, the little black and white pony with beautiful blue eyes that I've pictured here earlier and wrote a poem for him.) Her poem is about feelings, and I thought it would be a good one for discussing feelings. Marcia, Thank you for sharing your poem with us.
SAD AND BLUE
by M. Diane
Did you ever hug a
pillow
when you’re sad
and blue?
Have you ever
hugged
a pillow
right up close to
you?
Have you ever
hugged
a pillow
when your mom’s to
busy to hug you
or your dad’s not
around
and your brother’s
acting like a clown?
Did you ever hug a
pillow
up close to you?
It’s ever so
lovely
a thing to do.
M. Diane
Your challenge for today is to write your own poem about a feeling you've had, or you can write about your own pillow and how it makes you feel. Have fun.
POETRY FRIDAY is hosted over at Keri's today. Head over there if you'd like to read more children's poetry. Keri, thank you for hosting us.
