Halloween Scene

Don't be surprised
if you happen to see
a pirate, a ghoul,
a groovy hippie.

Tonight's the night
to see and be seen.
Have your treats ready,
it's Halloween!

Be sure to visit Linda at Teacher Dance - she has many Poetry Friday treats to share.
(and none will cause tooth decay!)

Tea Spree

A quick sip
of every brew
steeps my need
to visit the loo.



This is my contribution to David Harrison's WOM challenge to use the word: SPREE. Have you written your "spree" poem yet? Time is running out!

Happy Count Your Buttons Day!

10 buttons line my new coat

1 popped off *POP* and did float

Under a towering green needle pine

Leaving me with just 9

9 buttons line my new coat

1 popped off *POP* and did float

Landing near the white garden gate

Leaving me with just 8

8 buttons line my new coat

1 popped off *POP* and did float

Straight up to blue high heaven

Leaving me with just 7

7 buttons line my new coat

1 popped off *POP* and did float

Bouncing off a stack of red bricks

Leaving me with just 6

6 buttons line my new coat

1 popped off *POP* and did float

Skimming across a golden bee hive

Leaving me with just 5

5 buttons line my new coat

1 popped off *POP* and did float

Skittering across the brown tile floor

Leaving me with just 4

4 buttons line my new coat

1 popped off *POP* and did float

Plunking into my hot black tea

Leaving me with just 3

3 buttons line my new coat

1 popped off *POP* and did float

Right into the ivory loo – ew!

Leaving me with just 2

2 buttons line my new coat

1 popped off *POP* and did float

Up toward the bright yellow sun

Leaving me with just 1

1 button left on my new coat

I button it tight at my throat

Now I’m a Super-hero guy

Time to watch ME fly!

eggs sunnyside up

Silent But Deadly

flatulence

blowing kisses 

out of your bottom

Chill In the Air

Down my legs
and up my arms,
this sensation
truly disarms.

Little bumps
cover my flesh
from the air
dry, cool, and fresh.

Am I sick
or is it mumps?
Then I realize
it's just goosebumps!

I've off visiting colleges for my oldest daughter this weekend. Check out all the amazing poetry happening by visiting this week's Poetry Friday host, Jama at Jama's Alphabet Soup!
