Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Attention

The boy was hopping
The girl was skipping
The baby was bouncing
While the man was kipping

The cat was pouncing
The dog was dancing
The music was bobbing
The sound was throbbing

The dormouse slept
When a lion leapt
As a pig walked by
With a blinking eye
Away he crept

Somewhere else
Nobody's sure where
A gymnast vaulted
Straight up in the air

This nonsense poem
Has been hard work
Carelessly written
By a complete and utter jerk

Sheri Fresonke Harper January 24, 2020 at 6:29 PM Congratulations Shirley, on your honorable place finish in the Jump contest. I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for entering. I found your form strong, your content playful with good jumps but the last stanza meant you stopped short of bringing all that play to a final message, so edit a little more. Shirley Hawkins January 27, 2020 at 12:19 AM Thank you for your helpful comment I will try to write the last stanza again ( this will help me for future poems ) I find writing very therapeutic PS has been very helpful to me ...Shirley
