Notes About The Poem

For Eve Roper's Nursery Rhymes Poetry Contest

 

Playing House

Orange sun is out, and we're playing house My pets are my kids-until puss sees mouse! Mommy loves to water her gorgeous blooms While dog and kitty rest, inside porch rooms. This Saturday, childhood seems left behind When we make-believe, as the time unwinds. Soon Mommy serves lunch-of milk and a bone; And sandwich for herself. Jay sings alone.

Is there a 'children's garden of poetry' contest to enter this one in? If so, it's a sure winner. If not, 'tis a shame. A FAVE for me, Evelyn. Huzzah! :) Gershon
