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)

  3. I loved your poem Shelly, I could see, smell and feel the whole scene.
    I 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!

  4. So, if I comment today, does it count as commenting on Friday, too?

    I like your poem. It's pretty easy to see the scene. I'm guessing inspiration from real life?

  14. I love the image. The tights and the sandals are precious mixed with the drips of the popsicle. Sounds like summer to me!

  16. You'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.

  17. 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.

  18. You've painted a vivid picture with such few words!

  19. I read yours Shelly, then re-read it and pictured a voice on the beach reciting this. Great job!

    Please 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.

  20. Wonderful imagery! Loved "dripping popsicle on my face" - I felt like I could feel that sticky cool wetness.
    Thanks for this awesome Blogfest! I hope you do it again sometime.

  21. This is probably the coolest blogfest ever, I must say. ;)

    I love your poem! "Pink leggings - Punch stained shirt," it's so colorful and descriptive. Keep writing poetry, you sure have the talent for it!
