Notes About The Poem

7/30/2024 for My Special Poet Poetry Contest sponsored by Tom Woody

Cookie Dough Creatures

A tribute to Poetry Soup's Emilia James

I don't like to be namin' names,
but check out Emilia James.
You'll find your poetic reward
in the tale of an ant and his sword.

She mixes words into cookie dough
until she's got it, well...just so.
Then, for her next funny feature,
we can enjoy another creature.

Her characters made me laugh
so hard I almost split in half.
I hope she makes up some other guys,
specializing in the smaller size.

From Washington to the Kremlin,
they're talkin' 'bout her tooth gremlin.
If all these cute guys aren't enough,
She writes about serious stuff.

You'll hear of Mother Nature's wrath,
and unsafe landmines in your path,
When you think, "it can't get better", bud,
There's Mr. Potato.  Call him Spud.

What a sweet glowing tribute to her. She sounds s little bit like Caren Krutsinger here. Hope I spelled that right. Hope this clever poem gets a win .

Thanks, Andrea. I'll have to check out Caren Krutsinger - that's a new name for me!
