Words, Words, Words!

Word Play

I love to play with words

And let them roll around my tongue

Allowing them to slip through my lips

As I watch others react is fun.

I love to watch them form

On my computer screen

Falling into line as they tell

What something means to me.

I love to play around with

The words on my screen

To move a word here to there

Better revealing what I mean

 

I love to play with the sounds of words

To gather them into a rhyme

As for finding perfect rhythm

I never really make the time.

So if you too love to play with words

Come visit me at Word Play

Where I play with rhyming words

To discover what I have to say.

To Hot for a Slug!

Too hot!

Its too hot for Scottie Slug

Today,

He’d be worried, that he

Would sizzle in the

Scorching summer sun.

So Scottie Slug

Stayed in a soothing puddle

of water instead.

My leafy lettuces were safe,

at least for now.

Haiku

Drop by drop you flow

Gather avalanche's speed

Waterfall

Secret Sunday

Secrets

Not sure I have any

Nice Try Kat
Did you really think I'd tell
you my secrets!

After week one

You now know

Plenty about me

Let’s see

I’ve felt like a bullfrog

And have CP

And epilepsy too

You know I hate slugs

Like to have a natter

Don’t mind a challenge

And I live with my cat

Arrh Ok! May be one more

I may not like slugs

My co-tenant does

Almost as much mice!

Apparently I'm now writing a book
of Slug Poetry 

Secrets of Scottie Slug

Ssh, Ok!

I am going to tell you

all about Scottie Slug.

That slippery, slimy slug

that slid silver slim

over my lettuce.

I know that he

slips and he slimes

by the light of the silver moon.

I know as

I slipped out

last night.

Scottie was

slipping and sliding

and smiting about. 

You could hear

small, silly, squeaky

screams of delight.

In front of his

silly, snotty, slimy

slug friends.

Having a special feast

were these small, slimy, slugs

ON MY LETTUCE!

Again this morning

There is the slimy

Thank you in SILVER LETTERS!

Slugs Revenge

Silver Letters

This small
slimy snail
has slid over
MY LETTUCE!

Oooh! Arrr!
Look, it has left
a slimy
Silver trail!

Little dots
are those dashes
I can’t quite see
I think they’re tiny silver letters.

My gosh!
That slug
who got under your skin
Has left you a letter.

I wonder what
the slippery slimy thing
had to say
Dear

May be the slug
left you
a thank you note
he enjoyed your lettuce.
 
Errh! small
Slimy things
Should leave my
Lettuce leaves alone!

Don’t be like that
He left you
A silver lettered
Thank you note!


* My slug has created some interesting discussions among the MoP crew.  Silver letters indeed! Trust children's writers to find a story in a poem about a SLUG!

Poets like to natter!

 Having a natter!

Chit chat

Chitter-chatter

The poets are having a natter

Talking about some

Rhythm and rhyme

To create their mark in time

Chit chat, natter-natter

The poets are talking about

The things that matter

Well, to them anyway

Chitter-chatter

Chit chat!
