“The Drag” I have to walk our great big dog whose name is Mr. Wag, and since I am a little kid, he takes me for a drag. Waggy drags me down the street, then drags me to the park, and as we go from tree to tree, at other dogs, he’ll bark. These dailyContinue reading “Other Things #22 – Poemlet #16”

Writer’s Block

I have to write a story for Mrs. Burton’s class, and if I don’t write something, I won’t receive a pass. And so I think my story will be about a spy, or maybe a magician, or maybe just some guy. Or maybe I will write about some little pigs, and they will build someContinue reading “Writer’s Block”

Dancing in Phys. Ed.

I used to love phys.ed. at school, but lately, I do not. It’s cause of what we have to do; it’s dancing that’s being taught. With Suzy Cameron in my arms, I know I turn beet red. Instead of dancing with that girl, I wish I could drop dead. I step on Suzy’s toes aContinue reading “Dancing in Phys. Ed.”

Boo!

The front hall closet’s where I’m hid, behind a winter coat, and as I stand here quietly, I know that soon I’ll gloat. You see, my sister, yesterday, scared me half to death. I vowed that I’d get even, once I’d caught my breath. She laughed and called me “Scaredy-cat”. I yelled and said, “You’llContinue reading “Boo!”

Little Bob

Little Bob was quite the boy. His favourite thing was to annoy anyone who was around, and annoy them he was bound. He loved to hiccup really loud and of his hiccups — he seemed proud! These hiccups truly were not fact, cause Little Bob put on an act. At school, Bob was just aContinue reading “Little Bob”

“Flowers” I picked my mom some flowers as yellow as can be, and as I gave them to her, I said, “Cause you love me.” She said, “You are my sweet boy, and thank you, oh so much. These flowers are just lovely, and these, my heart, do touch.” She knelt and then she huggedContinue reading “Other Things 20 – Poemlet 14”

Tummy Flu

I really have a tummy ache; I guess it’s tummy flu. I’m on my back and groaning lots — that’s all that I can do. Thank heavens that I skipped my lunch and only ate a snack, cause two whole hours later, that darn bug did attack. My snack was just potato chips, some iceContinue reading “Tummy Flu”

The Biggest Tooth

I was really mad today and here’s the reason why. The Tooth Fairly just didn’t show up and that sure made me cry. The biggest tooth I ever grew fell out right after dinner, and since that darn tooth was so big, I knew I had a winner. I’d thought of all the stuff I’dContinue reading “The Biggest Tooth”

“Irresponsible” Norman had to mow the lawn until he cut the cord. “You must be more responsible!” was what his father roared. Then Norman had to pull some weeds; ten minutes felt like hours. “You must be more responsible,” said Mom, “You’ve pulled the flowers!” Norman’s irresponsible, but this fact makes him smirk. His irresponsibilityContinue reading “Other Things #19 – Poemlet #13”
