Skating

Laura hosts the 15 Words or Less Poem Challenge each week. This time I only used 15 words but I also wrote 2 poems. Check out this week's frozen picture and other fun poems at her site.




Come...
You're the first.
Skates on.
Push off.
G-L-I-D-E
Smoothly over
A frozen reflection pool.


Words skate
Across the page
Gliding from
My pen.
Thoughts recorded.
Memories saved.
Stories shared.

Racing By....

Okay... I can count and realize that this is not 15 words or less as required by Laura at laurasalas
so I did not leave it in the comments. But... unfortunately, this poem really expresses the way I have been feeling about the school day. Laura's choice of picture this week inspired the following poem.

Take a deep breath and...

Zoom!
We're off.
The day has begun.
Here come the kids!
Math is first -
Number one.
Then comes reading,
A trip to p.e.,
More reading ,
And then
Let's go to lunch.

Breathe....
For...
A minute or two.

Inside recess,
Oh what fun!
Some spelling,
And writing
Science is done.
Pack up.
Coats zipped.
Hugs goodbye.
Another school day
Has raced right by!

15 Words or Less Poem Challenge

Swooping up
Through the air
Ghosts fly swiftly
Into the sky-top towers
For a nightly rendezvous


Laura provides a picture as inspiration for the poem. Check out this challenge at http://laurasalas.livejournal.com/85501.html

15 Words or Less Poem Challenge

Cooperation
Around and around
Intertwined
Yet separate
Working together
Creating
A team
Work of art

I found this weekly challenge at Laura Salas' blog: Writing the World for Kids. http://laurasalas.livejournal.com She provides the picture as inspiration for a quick poem. http://laurasalas.livejournal.com/83010.html



Radiance
Morning arrives
Slowly drifting in
As my eyes open
to the glory of the day.
