RhyPiBoMo Day 3

    April Fool
    They say don’t write your book in rhyme,
    but I still do it all the time.

    I don’t set out to do it –
    the editors will boo-hoo it!

    I guess I’m just a foolish fool
    who thinks that’s such a ghoulish rule!

    If I can make a kid laugh –
    with a rhyming paragraph –

    Then a fool, I guess, I’ll be
    along with Seuss, and company!

RhyPiBoMo Day 2

I'm a dork, and I love cats and silly poetry. Here's a poem/song that I wrote about my cat Squeaky:

Squeaky
Squeaky, Squeaky, she runs around the house
squeakin', squeakin', just like a mouse.

Squeaky, Squeaky, she's sweet as can be,
but she'll turn around and bite you if you touch her belly.

Squeaky, Squeaky, her tail's a ball of fur,
I really like to cuddle her and listen to her purr.

Squeaky, Squeaky, it really does seem
that we make a pretty darn good cat and mommy team.

RhyPiBoMo - Day 1

RhyPiBoMo
Scanson, anapest, iamb, oh my!
Will I get this before I die?

This is the start of a month full of learning
To become an expert of something I’ve been yearning
to be

Wow that rhyme sucks,
But not to fear,
Because Angie Karcher
 and RhPiBoMo are here!
