SICK DAY

My nose is dripping.
It's turning shining red.
I cannot get the drip to stop.
I think today
I'll stay
in bed.

   I had a busy weekend, and I'm paying for it today.  My nose is running and I'm really having to push myself to get some work done.  I'm moving very slowly today.  What is the slowest moving creature that you know about?  Can you write a poems about it today?  Have fun writing.

GET WELL

I have a friend
who is sick.
I'll make him a card--
"Get Well Quick."
Then I'll send it
off today
and hope that soon
he'll come to play.

     Sorry to be so late, but I spent the day with a sick friend.  Can you write a poem about being sick today?  Have fun writing.

Keeping Healthy

I want to stay healthy
so here's what I do--
each year I get
a shot for the flu.

I wash my hands
frequently
sing Happy Birthday 
twice, to keep germ free.

I use my elbow
when I sneeze,
exercise, sleep
and eat healthy.

I'm doing everything
I know how to do.
I hope you stay
healthy too.


      Happy Saturday.  What are doing today for fun?  Can you write a poem about it?

I'm Sick

I think I am sick.
My body feels like ick.
My tummy is rumbly.
My bowels are grumbly.
I wish this bug would go away.
I'm going back to bed today.


     Yesterday, I wasn't feeling up to par.  I spent the whole day sleeping and was going to skip today's post but then I thought everyone doesn't feel great all the time and that is worthy of a poem.  Can you write a poem today about being sick?  Have you ever broken a bone, thrown up or needed a band-aide?  Can you write a poem about that today?  Make poetry.  Have fun.

I HAVE A BUG!

My Tummy Hurts

With out a doubt,
it feels like
it wants to scream
and shout.

It feels like
things are
rumbling about.

I think
it wants
to throw
things out.

Oh, please!  Give me
a trash can.
Quick!

I think
I'm going
to be
SICK!

     Being sick is something we all know about.  Sooner or later a bug hits us all.  So today's challenge is to write a poem about being sick.  Can you try to use lots of senses?  Well, maybe you'll want to omit smell,  or maybe that is the whole point of your poem.  Have fun because being sick isn't much fun.

SICK

Today I'm home

and stuck in bed.

I fell down

and bumped my head.

I passed out

and my nose, it bled.

"Stay in bed,"

is what the doctor said.

I feel tired

and my knees are weak.

All I want

is to get some sleep.

Tomorrow I'll be ready

to run and play.

But today I want

to stay in bed all day.
