H to M: Poetry Challenge Recap
Congrats! You have completed week two of the A to Z Poetry Challenge. Take the day off and revise your poems by asking yourself the following two questions.
1. Do your poems use the senses?
2. Are you using active verbs?
Now here are the poems I created this week. Enjoy!
He lived in the arctic, the polar bear
M is for Mother Goose

Winter Trouble
Spidy ducked when
Wolverine threw a snowball
And broke the captain’s shield.
I is for Inspiration
With All My Heart, Mind, and Soul
With All My Heart, Mind, and Soul

In a mother’s arm
A child found
All the love and security
She needed to grow
In a mother’s way
A rebellious teen
Saw all she needed
To choose her own way
In a mother’s song
A young woman hears
All the strength she needs
To conquer her fears
In a child’s heart
Her mom is her world
In a teenage mind
Her mom is her guide
In a woman’s soul
Her mom is eternally there
J is for Jingle
(My jingle written to the tune of Oscar Mayer Wiener).

Ooh, I love to be an awesome writerrr

Polar Bear Limerick
(Started off as a poem about my childhood teddy and morphed into something else).
(Started off as a poem about my childhood teddy and morphed into something else).
He lived in the arctic, the polar bear
Out on walk, he got caught in a snare
turned into a teddy
They call him the yeti
Now he lays on the floor and stares
M is for Mother Goose
(Nursery rhyme using "Little Miss Muffet").
Little Miss Traxel,
Sat on a axel,
Spinning her tales of woe.
Along came the hero,
Straight as an arrow
And frightened the villain away.

Thanks Jen. I think I'm an okay of a writer as I still have a lot to learn. I decided it was time to start a blogroll. I still have a few more to add.
DeleteExcellent. I enjoyed reading your creations!
ReplyDeleteThanks Penny. It's really hard to write poetry when I have to pay attention to the number of syllables.
DeleteRena, you almost made my cry when I read your I is for inspiration poem. It took me down memory lane with my mom and with my own kids. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I will be mailing it off to my Mommy.
DeleteI love all your poetry! I loved the limerick and the jingle but I really loved, most of all, With All My Heart, Mind, and Soul! You are such a talented writer!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thank you!
DeleteThey are brilliant Rena, yes that was my favorite too, Louise!
ReplyDeleteVery nice poems, Rena! I am so impressed that you are able to get the poems written in addition to the daily poetry month posts! You must be very, very, busy! :) Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am busy, but writing is my full-time job so that makes it a little easier to find the time. Originally, I was going to just do the posts for the challenges, but then I thought it would be fun to try each form since many of them I haven't tried before.
