William and I have been reading about animal families, so I was inspired to write this silly little poem. Enjoy!
Thumbs up to you if you can name the animal groups. For a hint or two, visit this zoo page!
A Family For You
Consider your life in
a warren or scurry
If your kin were a pride
would you need ever worry?
Are you suited to
tower or ambush or band?
Would play in a shrewdness
get way out of hand?
Imagine your clan is
a bloat or a pod
Would home in a prickle
be frighteningly odd?
Picture
a cackle
a richness
a gaze
In which of these groups could you
spend your days?
So
CHOOSE
while you can
and make it
fast
too
Because the Zookeeper
is coming for
YOU!
Tricia,
ReplyDeleteLove the original poems! Get ready for next year so you can post a poem a day in April. What do you think???
Hi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteI was revisiting some of your poems today and wondering how you've managed a poem a day. I don't know that I have that much confidence in my work.
Whatever will you do when the month is over?
Regards,
Tricia
Tricia,
ReplyDeleteI've been writing children's poetry for about thirty years. I dug out many of my old poems and tweaked some of them a bit and rewrote others. Some of the poems were brand new works.
What will I do when April is over? Breathe a sigh of relief! I'll also start writing about more than just children's poetry.
But Tricia that poem is great! Keep going!
