Lullaby

nap time music 
squ-ree-chee,  squ-ree-chee
springs are in rhythm
but the glider's out of tune 	

pat-tat-a tat,  pat-tat-a-tat
steady tempo 
grandma sets the cadence
on a baby-bottom drum 	

hypnotized
sleepy ole MacNana sings 
A-E-I-O-U,   A-E-I-O-U 
cows quack and ducks moo

This is a senryu poem with added lines of onomatopoeia so I call it free verse.

Poteet Date: 3/17/2023 9:15:00 AM I thank you Eve, I loved the alliteration and rhyme in your entry on ladybugs. They are a very special insect quite different from the scary ones like spiders and the pesky ones like flies and ants.
