Saturday’s post (a little late)

April 26th, 2008 . by Joyce

There is a pretty simple way

To tell the story of my day

With eight syllables in each line.

Also, each couplet has to rhyme.

Yesterday I complained to you

Of too much rain. Today was blue

Skies overhead for quite a while.

Just looking around made me smile.

Hyacinths, tulips, daffodils,

Grass growing in good earnest fills

My mind with plans to work outside

But more than weather is my guide.

Suffice it to say, much got done

By all the fam. Now just for fun,

Since weather conditions are right,

The kids will sleep outside tonight.

Oops! It’s tomorrow already;

Time for me to go to beddy. (Anything for a rhyme)

    Ya know how I love poetry with meter & rhyme … playfully generated! I loved THIS poem catching us up on your ‘busy’ fun ;–)
    Hope you’re feeling rested this morning. I tried something ‘new’ today at Sacred Ruminations (coupled with my ‘familiar’ Sunday sharing) and published Camera Critters and Unconscious Mutterings at Small Reflections … just because.
    Hugs and blessings,

    Thanks, Laura and Storyteller. :)

    This WAS fun. I want to do more with this type of poetry. It seems more suitable for telling a story than haiku, though haiku is my favorite thing to do right now. :P
