thankyou for liking my poem
I hope you like this one too


Lemon Lime

One  early  morning
I  got  up  out  of  bed
I  went  to  my  dad
said  "wake  up  sleepy  head"
He  rolled  out  of  bed
and  staggerd  down  the  stairs
I followed  down  behind  him
with  my  fifteen  teddy  bears
~
He  slumped  down  at  the  table
for  just  a  minute  or  two
before  I  said  "good  morning"
and  then  "how  are  you"
"I'm  fine"  he  said
"but  why  did  you  wake  me
at  such  an  early  time"
~
As  he  asked  I  answered
and  urgent  made  it  sound
"Dad, I  really  am  craving
a  glass  of  Lemon  Lime"
So  to  the  fridge  he  staggered
took  out the  little  jug
spilled  some  in  a  glass
and  watched  me  glug  glug  glug
I  dashed  back  up  the  stairs
teddy  bears  and  all
With  dad  still  in  the  kitchen
staring  at  the  wall

~~~

mini poet, this is so cool...and I agree with Mike, you do have an eye (and ear) for detail. Loved how you wrote

"spilled  some  in  a  glass
and  watched  me  glug  glug  glug"

Keep writing, you're doing swell!

This mini poet does not have mini talent.
You write a wonderful verse, young poet, and tell a great story with it.
This is adorable!

This is really neat.  Don't blame me for pointing out problems -- I've just crossed over from "Critical Analysis" -- but don't you want to fill out the meter and rhyme of the end of the second stanza, and the beginning of the third?  This is so near to perfect . . . go for perfect!!!

thankyou everyone ... you tucked  a little girl to bed tonight with a hug that means more than I can describe
She wanted to say something back to you all
but nothing she thought of was good enough
She really likes Marges poems ... she says they are good and they look pretty too

Big with words and rhyme you are
A mini poet not by far
Your poem so cute, so true it's there
Just as true as your fifteen bear
I smiled, remembered when my kids were young
You are special dear so write another one
I can see your daddies face
I bet he looked lovely with such grace  
Your doing well, yes by far
A GREAT mini poet is what you are


 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
