Poetry

Once a year in February, my group writes poetry every day. It is a shorter month and every month we rhyme on the eighth and so we are busy rhyming today. It will be so much fun getting together to eat, visit and to rhyme. We don't often get together to spend this kind of time.

I'm hopeful we will be able to do a group rhyme and read some of our writings. On Tuesday we will go out to do some sightseeing's. One of our friends enjoys putting photos along with her words as she is a photographer too. We have a few sights to see around here, and it is truly a nice view.

Storytelling can be told in poetry or rhyme

The three little pigs come to mind at this time

and the butcher, the baker, the candle stick maker

and how about taker, shaker, breaker partaker

Then we can follow along with the rhyming of

the seller of seashells by the seashore above.

Silly Sally sells seashells sitting sideways so

she shouldn't snore. Somedays she says slow

steady sales, since she started selling seashells.

Sally says seashells saved Sonny some shells.

Then there are other stories to tell

besides nonsense and what the hell

why not tell stories of the eagle

and how about the vulture and Seagle

What is the difference between rhyme and poetry?

All poems do not end in rhyme, take a tree

for example. Tree can rhyme with so many words

and yet a simple poem may have none or only one rhyme.

Storytelling is my favorite kind of poetry and rhyme

I love to use poetry to express emotion, to take time

to cry when it comes and to encourage others

to do the same. I encourage my brothers

to do their art and to never forget it is not a crime

to rhyme! Enjoy today and practice so you may chime

in when others are all about rhyming. Don't forget pictures.
