POETRYSAMBADGE

Time for us to WAX POETIC and pull a poem out of our bag of creativity and come up with something SUITABLE for this week’s letter of the alphabet – the letter:

“L”

Love

By Sammy Kimmell, 9/1/16

Love is all around

A sight, a smell, a sound

I feel it every day

In many different ways

The softness of a touch

From someone I love so much

The voice that never screams

To interrupt my dreams

A gentle loving hug

Lying with me on the rug

A wink across the room

A brushing to help me groom

My days are warm with love

I thank the stars above

My life has been long in years

My future I do not fear

I will take the love along

When I sing the “Rainbow” song………..

Now, how about you?   Did you write an “L” poem today?  If you did, you can share it with us in comments OR give us your blog link to your poem so we can take a peek and see what’s on your mind!!

I thought you might like to see the other photos Mom took of me on the front porch the other day – I used one for my Sunday Selfie at The Cat on My Head, but here are a couple of others!   These are RECENT photos as I said – not “recycled” ones!

People have asked to see some “new” photos of me so there you are!

Know what else?   I only entered a couple of the Pawlympics events this year but one of the ones I did enter was one I simply couldn’t resist entering………..The Tuneful Farting competition that my pal Easy was hosting!    Of course those of us who entered, all won but who knew I’d get a BLUE RIBBON and a certificate??  Not me!   They came in the mail yesterday and I was so excited!

PAWLYMPICSPRIZE

Here’s my entry photo for that INTERESTING competition!

AND, I also got a lovely medal from my gal pal Madi for having entered the event SHE hosted at the Pawlympics called Sunpuddle Napping!

PAWLYMPICSMEDAL

Honestly I can’t remember which of my MANY snoozer photos I entered in that one but you’ve seen one photo of me sleeping, you’ve seen them all!    HAHAHAHA

Don’t forget to write an “L” Poem!

I’ll see you next week for “M” !

I feel my poetic side peeking out in this photo!

    • Oh I REALLY loved your poem today too – you painted a picture of a unique, special girl who knows her mind and isn’t afraid to show it. I say GOOD FOR HER (even if there may be the occasional bitey or whap!). Thanks for pawticipating in my poetry day – it’s just so much fun to write them AND read them!!!!!

      Hugs, Sammy

    • I read about Dusty and I know what a good friend he was to you…..I just bet you will have many more friends like Dusty little man. I’m sorry my poem made your Mom cry but sometimes it’s GOOD to let your emotions out like that – humans need to do that sometimes and you shouldn’t worry. Your poem for Dusty is sweet and I know he read it and appreciated that you wrote it!

      Hugs, Uncle Sammy

    • I might do a book for my Mom to keep but it really is so expensive to produce a book (Mom knows since she’s an author!) that it wouldn’t be practical BUTTTTTTTT thanks for suggesting it. I hope your Mom decides to join in the poetic fun on Thursdays soon – that would be fun!

      Love and Hugs, Sammy
