Busy Summer, for some of us

It's been a busy summer here at Poemasabi Jr. HQ but most of it has been things other than poetry. To date our, your, work has been seen over 1900 times and in countries all around the world.

We have viewers in The United States, Russia, India, Australia and Germany which, if you think about it, is not bad for elementary student poets.

One poet has been busy however. That poet is Horsegirl who after a chance meeting at Starbucks, submitted eight delightful works that she had been creating this summer. So hats off to all who have participated so far and a big thanks to one young poet who provided fresh examples of wonderful poetry during our summer dry spell.

Rain

It's a pain when it rains

We can't have recess

We can't play outside

All we can do

Is sit and bake pie

It's raining so hard

We can't believe it

It's such a bore

Let's move to Cleveland!

Scratch 'N Sniff

I scratched and sniffed a book

It smelled like slimy slugs

It smelled liked roasted lady bugs

It smelled like friend flies

Oh wait, it's a book about bugs

I Forgot

I forgot this poem Yes , oh Yes, I did

I forgot this poem when I went to feed the pigs

It's OK to forget

All messed up and tublished

But don't forget this poem

Because it's getting published

Perfect Day

Golden Sun

Lots of Fun

The greenest grass

Transparent skies,  like glass

only a tiny bit of clouds

On a day like this, let's all be proud!

Drama King

The King loves to be the Boss

He banned sports when his team lost

The King said every girl should be named Rose

He ordered everyone to have six toes

Then finally the King's time was up

Now everyone does whatever they want

The Important Thing About Shoes

The important thing about shoes

is that they protect your feet

They can be fun and funky

Or they can be loose and chunky

Some give you blisters

Some save you from twisters

A few can win you the last treat

But the important thing about shoes is that they protect your feet

Friends

Friends are good. 

Friends are great.

Friends I really do appreciate.

A day without friends is like a year without fun.

It is a good thing that friends are for everyone!
