Poetry Month, Day 24

From Flicker Flash by Joan Bransfield Graham, a little sun for you since the sky is so grey today.

Sun

"From

93.000,000

miles away I bring

you this dynamite, ring-

a-ding day. I'll shout in

your window and bounce

near your head to solar

power you out of

your bed!"

Poetry Month, April 22nd

Alphabet Sherbet
Alphabet Sherbet.
Have you ever heard of it?
I bought myself a gallon,
and ate about a third of it.
The A's are all amazing.
The B's are a beautiful blue.
The C's and D's
are cool and delicious.
The E's are enjoyable too.
The F's are fair,
but don't you fret--
the G's are great,
so go and get
a bowl of Alphabet Sherbet.
You'll love it,
I'm sure of it!
