“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”
“Our Bad Puppy”
Benny’s our new puppy, and he’s been really bad. While watching him this morning, I went to help my dad. That puppy went just crazy, all throughout our home, cause I forgot to pen him, so what he did was roam. He went into the family room and pooed right on the floor and thatContinue reading ““Our Bad Puppy””
The Bad Haircut
I got a haircut yesterday and now I wear a cap. The barber seemed to lose his mind — his barber chair, my trap! I said, “Just take a little off.” He said, “Okay, will do.” So on my phone, I played a game and didn’t, the process, view. At last the man said, “I’mContinue reading “The Bad Haircut”

“The Easy Choice” I’d really like to be a clown and dress in silly clothes. I’d like to wear those great big shoes and wear a big, red nose. Yes, circus life sure looks like fun and for it I do hanker, or maybe I’ll be like my dad and end up as a banker.Continue reading “Other Things #18 – Poemlet #12”
The Camping Trip
My family had a camping trip, but things did not go well. It was a first for all of us as anyone could tell. No doubt it would have been quite fun — had there been no storm, and had the tent not sprung a leak, and if it had been warm. No doubt weContinue reading “The Camping Trip”
Alphabetical Seating
In Mrs. Rose’s classroom, each year it’s just the same. According to the alphabet each student sits by name. Matt Bower is the lucky guy who sits by Becky Cross. Stan Stewart whispers through the day to pretty Maggie Ross. Sarah Grayson gets to sit with her friend, Sally Glass, and Mrs. Rose just neverContinue reading “Alphabetical Seating”

“Self-satisfaction” I like my toes, I really do! I also like my fingers too. In fact, there’s not a part of me that needs to change, from what I see. Because of this, I cannot say, “improvement” is my goal today. Do something — yes, I really should, because I’m sure — it will beContinue reading “Other Things #17 – Poemlet #11”
