Welcome Poetry Appreciators!
Here we are again on a Thursday working our way through the alphabet and writing a poem about SOMETHING starting with the “letter of the week” ! Today we are writing about the lovely letter “D”. Let me dip into my fertile ginger brain and come up with something “D”-ish!
“Dining”
The world of cat food is so big
Whether picky eater or kitty kat pig
I myself am getting picky
Some kitty food just plain tastes icky
Seafood is what I do prefer
Mom opens a can and begins to stir
I wait and wait until she puts down my dish
I can already tell it’s some kind of fish
Shrimp, crab, sardines or trout
I’ll clean my plate there is no doubt
I eat it up then clean my face
This ginger boy is no disgrace!
I’ll take a nap – so full I feel…..
My nose will wake me for my next meal!
By Sammy Kimmell, Boy Poet
I squeezed off another gem right? Right? This is getting to be tons of fun……….next week we’ll be at “E”……………..I’ll try to come up with something swell and in the meantime, why don’t you put YOUR poem in my comments so everyone can see I’m not the only WRITER in the blogosphere who can come up with a fab poem JUST LIKE THAT! Even better, you can join in on your own blog and write a poem with me every week. You can put your link in a comment HERE and people can follow to your blog to read your literary masterpiece!
Well all that thinking, creating, and writing has made me sleepy………..I do believe it’s time for yet another of my 87 naps a day……………YAWN………………….
Wake me when it’s meal time again Mom will ya?
Love, Sammy Shakespeare
P.S. Feel free to copy the badge below and use it on your blog if you wanna pawticipate in my Thursday Poetry Days!!!!

Well I figured everyone would think I’d just HAVE to mention the “B” word in a poem about “DINING” but I decided to mention my OTHER love – SEAFOOD instead. I do love some seafood….crab, shrimp….I’ve even eaten a piece of calamari (just once though!).

WELL DONE!!!!! I know a whole lot of people were surprised my “Dining” poem didn’t mention bacon BUTTTTTT seafood is my other big love so I decided to devote “D” to that…..sooner or later on another letter of the alphabet the chances are Bacon will make an appearance though. I do love the stuff. I also LOVE y our poem!!!! Many of us are BACONATORS aren’t we??!!

Hi Seville! Glad you liked my poetic offering this week…..next week is “E”…..I’m considering my options. Mom got a can or two of “BEYOND” cat food which had sardines as part of the ingredients and it was DY-NO-MITE. I know other kitties have tried “real” whole sardines and loved them. I think your peep needs to get you a sardine to try – you know, we all should try NEW stuff once in a while!
