Ta Da! Let’s Get Poetic!
Greetings Poetry fans and anyone else who just happens to pop by on a Thursday only to find that I’m WAXING POETIC! (what kind of polish does one use for that do you suppose???)
Today is the letter “N” – we’re working our way through the alphabet and “N” was one of the letters I dreaded because I had a problem coming up with something to write about that starts with the letter “N”! I agonized and worried and hoped “N” would just never get here but alas, it has………….so I shall do my bestest to come up with SOMETHING because I know you want me to right?
“N”
“Naughty”
By Sammy Kimmell, 9/15/16
When I was just a wee guy
Of maybe one or two
I often was in trouble
What else was there to do?
I stole things off of tabletops
I pulled trash from the can
I turned my kibble dish over
Then when Mom came, off I ran!
It was a big old game to me
I played it every day
Now that I’m old my games have changed
In a not so funny way.
I call for Mom all night long
She doesn’t get to sleep
I ask for food then won’t eat it
The pantry is filled with my food three feet deep!
I may be slightly exaggerating
I may be just an OLD tease
But Mom I hope you won’t get mad
Just always love me……….PLEASE?
OK, I squeeze one off! Now it’s YOUR turn……..did you write an “N” poem today? If you did, put the link to your bloggy in my comments so we can all go take a peek at your work……OR, you can put your poem in your comment and we’ll read it NOW right here! You know next week we’re up to “O” and I have to tell you, that was another of the letters that gave me nightmares (and daymares too) when I was planning my poetry series. But I have a WHOLE WEEK to figure it out and so do you!
Happy Poetic Thursday Peeps!
Au Revoir!
Monsieur Sam
Sam, I think your mom will love you no matter what you do! “N” also stands for “Nice” – which you are!!!

You look so handsome in your beret Sammy. Great poem, but I can’t believe you were ever naughty. I do wish you would eat more and let your Mom get a little sleep. No matter what you do, your Mom and Dad will love you. And I love you and all your fans do too. XO

Your Mom Loves, LoVes, LOVES you… no worries there, Sammy! I can picture you being a busy naughty two year old. Your Mom and Dad probably LOVED that too! Our Spanky cat cried all night long when she got older. I slept with my fingers in my ears… it was before noise cancelling headphones and buds.

I really do drive poor Mom nuts with my “caterwalling” all night long…….Dad has a little radio by the bed with earphones an just plugs in…….Mom just gets up and comes to soothe me until I go back to sleep. Wonder why we do that??? I didn’t do it before I got old (and deaf)…….maybe it’s like “echo-location” with whales – – – we make a noise and wait for confirmation that something heard it out there…..LOL

Oh Siddhartha I just KNEW if you did a poem for “N” today it would be about your sweet Nylablue Angel. Everyone misses her of course but nobody more than your Mom I’m sure. She is always there watching over you though and I know that’s a big comfort. The poem is wonderful – you and your Mom get an A+ for your hard work on it!

My Mom has told my Dad that (I overheard her!)…..that while she’s exhausted all the time from getting up when I call her, she knows she will MISS that one day and it makes her sad. We think it’s partly because I can’t hear anymore – I don’t know I’m yelling so loud (!) but I just want to know I’m not alone. Anyway, I think you’re right that my Mom will always be there for me and love me.

Oh my cat…………my Mom and I laughed until she had to run to the bathroom so she wouldn’t ruin her chair cushion….HAR HAR….you guys are too hilarious for this early in the morning. You are such FABULOUS poets and I hope you KNOW IT. Fortunately, my Mom is never nekkid – well maybe in the shower but I am never around (fortunately) for that. I know it has to be SKEERY seeing a creature that has just icky, ugly skin instead of beautiful and glorious fur everywhere (yes everywhere) like WE do. Kinda like a newborn mousie…..(mmmmm)…..Anyway, here’s to the FUN of poetry writing – next week is “O” and I’m already wondering how you could possibly top your entry for “N” !!!!!!!! It’s mind boggling!
