So come and join the party!
To start things off right I will post a poem of my own
Pink leggings
Punch stained shirt
Chubby toes in white leather sandals
I’m pretty sure that I know who is standing over me
Blocking the glaring sun
Stepping on my hair
And dripping popsicle on my face
(Remember that I'm a poet-in-process, so go easy. Now, I'm excited to read all of your poems)

I loved your poem! I'm not a poet-in-process but I took a leap of faith and did a poem for the ocassion! It's my Harry Potter poetry dealio. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou captured a perfect summer moment. I can see the chubby toes. I love it :)
ReplyDeleteI loved your poem Shelly, I could see, smell and feel the whole scene.
ReplyDeleteI posted my attempt at a poem, it's crap, but I hope you find humor in the patheticness that is I in poetry-mode.
On my way to check out Jen's!

So, if I comment today, does it count as commenting on Friday, too?
ReplyDeleteI like your poem. It's pretty easy to see the scene. I'm guessing inspiration from real life?
The link to Randy Lindsay is broken. I can't get it to work. Am I crazy?
ReplyDeleteLove the imagery! Wonderful poem--short and sweet. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteKayeleen - you're good!
Angie- thanks for the heads up. That phishing warning was intense! I fixed the link and now we're cool.
I could picture each line- I really enjoyed this one. I will have mine up tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLike the poem - very evocative. I've only just discovered this Blogfest but I'm going to go and post a poem now ...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great image. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I posted my poem. It's up on my blog.
Thanks guys!
ReplyDeleteSimon- Glad to have you!
Love your poem! The imaginary is wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteI love sticky, pink-legginged little girls! Love the poem :)
ReplyDeleteCute! Love the imagery, and it's also very summery. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the image. The tights and the sandals are precious mixed with the drips of the popsicle. Sounds like summer to me!

I like your poem. Never wear leggings when it's popsicle weather!
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly captured a precious picture with your words. Just had my grands here for a week so I stick to light switches, drawer pulls, door knobs--you name it. Wish they could stick around as long as their sweet fingerprints do.

I'm in, taking your advice to heart. I don't know why but I love the image of hair getting stepped on. Also, for some reason I get the image of the beach...there is no proof in your lines to back this up, though. Strange.
ReplyDeleteYou've painted a vivid picture with such few words!
ReplyDeleteI read yours Shelly, then re-read it and pictured a voice on the beach reciting this. Great job!
ReplyDeletePlease excuse my tardiness everyone! I am catching up with time, the themes and of course the poems! I just finished day 1 and I am working on day 2. I hope you all enjoy mine as I'm sure I will enjoy yours when I read them.
Wonderful imagery! Loved "dripping popsicle on my face" - I felt like I could feel that sticky cool wetness.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this awesome Blogfest! I hope you do it again sometime.
This is probably the coolest blogfest ever, I must say. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your poem! "Pink leggings - Punch stained shirt," it's so colorful and descriptive. Keep writing poetry, you sure have the talent for it!
