Welcome to Poetry Day
Hello Poetry Fans and welcome to our little weekly exercise of our poetic brains where we write a poem beginning with a letter of the alphabet……as we work our way through the alphabet we find that we have made our way to the letter:
“M”
“Mom”
By Sammy Kimmell, 9/8/16
She’s been my Mom for 16 years
Through giggles, fun, and sometimes tears.
She’s taught me things I needed to know
She’s fed me well so I would grow –
From tiny feral baby to senior old man
I thought I couldn’t, she showed me I can.
Every day has been like a gift
Sleepy sunpuddles in which I drift.
The day will come when I will leave
But in my heart I truly believe
She will join me and the others who came before
On the beach of love at Rainbow’s shore……….
Now, before I leave you, I invite you to put your OWN poem for “M” in my comments to share with everyone OR, put a link to your blog where you might post your poem and join me in celebrating the fun “art” of poetry!!!!
Oh yes -before I go – HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
TO MY MOM AND DAD today – 26 years!
Weren’t they cute? HAHAHAHA
Love, Sammy the Poet!
