Well, school's out - so I'll have more time now - but I haven't written anything new - Here's my most "fitting" poem - It uses both alliteration and onomatopoeia CELLAR DWELLERS How can I get my basement clean Those cellar dwellers are so mean Undoing all that I have done They think - perhaps I'm having fun? Scrub as I might they do not care They hide in corners everywhere These little fellows pink and blue Conspirators, my work undo I hear them twitter at my back Cacophonous counter attack Each corner now devoid of stuff Upon the walls I see them stuck!! These puny paired prolific pests Have brand new Cellar Dweller nests. Their young imprint me as their mom And cling to me. Where'd they come from? I scoop them up neat as you please But - whoosh - they're off then with a breeze Sweep them again to cast them out 'All Cellar Dwellers, SCAT", I shout!! I'll never win this war I fear These Cellar Dwellers will live here Long after this is not my home Pink peanut packing styrofoam... [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 06-19-2000).] |
