Poetry Friday: Slobbery (by me)

February 26, 2010 By Laura

 

I did a fun Family Reading Night at a local school last night, and for the first time used my poetry treasure chest (more about that soon). The event was great, the kids were terrific, and if I had taken a pic of it, I’d share the fantastic group poem we wrote (shoot!) But I didn’t, so I’ll share the poem from the treasure chest they seemed to like best.

It’s from A Fuzzy-Fast Blur: Poems About Pets, and goes with a picture of some drooling bulldogs (who remind me a lot of my own drooling Captain Jack Sparrow).

Slobbery

Some think I wear a constant frown
It’s just my tongue that weighs me down!
I love to loll and pant and drool
And form a swishy, foamy pool
Of spit that I can not keep in!
It makes me smile a happy grin.
I have a lot of tongue, it’s true…

     Shall I share a lick with you?
