Juliet Ligon Poet Rhyme

Grandma's Abracadabra Book

A new book Grandma brought along,
bound with adventures awaiting:
renewed storyline, refreshed scene,
anxious in my mind to belong. 
Captivating, the cover leaped out,
announcing pop-ups like a gong.
Delightfully, she read the book
as I pulled each tab slow but strong.
Behold a circus pulsating:
refreshed scene, renewed storyline,
achieved by lion's teeth and song.

William Kelii Kekaula April 15, 2021 at 2:17 AM Pop-ups eh! That probably explains my want for sci-fi, nonetheless, a wondrous share of a difficult poetic form, Juliet, my compliments for your participation and placement, Aloha! William Kelii Kekaula April 15, 2021 at 7:04 PM An interesting take, Juliet, worth a try, Aloha! Juliet Ligon April 15, 2021 at 5:12 PM Thanks for the challenge, William. I wanted to make it an acrostic too so that Abracadabra popped out, but I couldn't figure out how to make it stay bold with copy and paste.

Gershon Wolf March 30, 2021 at 3:15 PM I sure remember those wonderful pop-up books whose fond memory your poem has rekindled. Thank you, Juliet! :) gw Juliet Ligon March 30, 2021 at 9:23 PM Thanks for your comments. Good times. My grandma had one with lion's teeth that I liked to stick my hand in, no music or circus though. I looked forward to it every time she came to visit.
