Me and my friend, Charlie :)

Add a playful poem in the comment section, and I'll add it to this post! Have fun!

A couple of people have told me that they plan on putting a poem here, but they seem to be approaching it as some sort of serious project. No, no, just have fun with this! It is about being playful with words and being silly. It's about capturing a moment like a photo does, but in words.

Close your eyes and imagine a moment that you loved, like looking at a cute bug ( I saw THE CUTEST bug this morning!), getting rained on, patting your dog, smiling at a stranger, eating a cupcake, what it felt like waking up. A moment that was just yours inside yourself, and you want to share - in a playful, silly way! There is no wrong way to do this. It won't be bad. It will be fun for us to read! Write something within a few minutes, like as long as it would take to climb up a tree! :)

Here's a really fun poem by children's author, Greg Pincus, just to help put you in a word-silly mood. Say it out loud!


I Don't Like Words

I don't like words.

They don't make sense.

Words make me upset and tense.

How due eye no witch whirred two ewes

Ore how two right thee won aye chews?

Wile sum mite think words are a bawl,

Eye dew knot care fore words at awl!

:D :D :D

This poem was taken from his ebook of kids' poems, The Late Bird.

His website is The Happy Accident.

:) Beautiful, sad, funny - please enjoy these poems! :)

Here
I'm here,
The snow falling

by Kobayashi Issa

By Brandi! She made this up as she was here writing it, I sure hope she makes a larger story out of it!

Uncle Dear,

Violet Here,

Asking for a favor

Not a treat

Not a sweet

Not a thing with flavor

(Nothing like that)

Your time machine

A useful thing

With many a possibility

To change the past

To change at last

The reason for my miserability

(yes, Uncle, that is a word)

Please make a stop

A real quick pop

To the day I have in mind

Tell my pater

And tell my mater

To be much disinclined

(convince them!)

Warn them both

To swear an oath

A most holy and sacred vow

That only me

That I shall be

Their only child now

(get my drift)

That brother of mine

So quite out of line

Is the terror of my life

he is a worm

he is a germ

The reason for my strife

(you see now)

Uncle Dear

Your niece here

Begging this mercy of you

If you cannot

If you shall not

I hope a caveman turns you into stew

(or a dinosour!)

Yours Lovingly,

Violet

Here's a new poem by my new friend, Speedy the house rabbit's mom!

Speedy the Cheeky House Rabbit!

He's a Cheeky one that Speedy
He goes on adventures in his magic closet
Bringing along his bunny chums
to all these fun places!
He's a naughty one that Speedy
He does his disappearing Houdini act
That little escape artist
Where does he go no one knows?
He's a funny one that Speedy
He loves playing tricks
Especially on me
Like Trampolining on me!
He's a Speedy one that Speedy
He always races around everywhere
He zooms here, he zooms there
He zooms everywhere!
He's a Cheeky one that Speedy
Speedy the Cheeky House Rabbit!

Thank you, Speedy, I love that so much!

LOL! :D My bunnies know how to disappear too, although it's mostly been the girls who have that talent. They can make themselves invisible, go to sleep, and only become visible again when my calling and calling wakes them up :D Then there they are, where I had already looked a zillion times!
