National Poetry Month--Day SEVEN--Grammar Poem-- Regret, Dish

 

 Today we're doing Grammar poems. If you want to know how to do them, go here. If not, my poems:

 REGRET

Nascent in youth and conqueror of age

Insidiously draining

Slicing like a stiletto in the night, holding sleep hostage

Had only hindsight been foresight.

DISH

Useful and common

Steaming gently

Like a volcano's caldera

If only the soup you held wasn't split pea

Grammar Poem--National Poetry Month

This is a grammar poem, which sounds confusing unless you go here and see what she's talking about. Here are mine:

Ballerina

Pirouetting and leaping

Telling a story gracefully

Like a swan princess

If only my body was thirteen again.

Climber

Reaching and scrambling

Rising gritty to the challenge

As a lizard on a ledge

If only I hadn't fallen a few minutes ago.

Happiness--Grammar Poem

Today I'm doing a Grammar Poem for National Poetry Month.

HAPPINESS

Fleeting and elusive

Everyone searches for that precious commodity

Like trying to grasp the golden ring on the Merry-go-round

If only they realized it's littered along the trail in tiny, perfect moments

The Age Old Question About Dusty Dinosaurs

It's grammar poem day on this lovely 15th day of April. If you want to know the parameters, go here. (Doesn't Stephanie have a great blog? She does all the work finding these poems plus making up her own.)
So here's my take on a grammar poem:

Dusty Dinosaurs

Computer parts

Ubiquitous and disorganized

Crouching in every nook, cat-wise

If only I had a room of holding.

Day the Ninth--Grammar Poem--Aerogel

Today is Grammar Poem day. If, like me, you think this means a poem your English teacher dad yells at you about dangling participles during, you should go here to find out what it really is. (You like that? Two of them! And a couple of sentence fragments. Next passive voice should be added.)

Here's my Grammar Poem:

A chunk of Blue Smoke used to capture comet 
dust note the little light streaks--dust entry 
indicators

Aerogel

Aerogel

Misty and strong

Effectively catching comet dust 

Like a chunk of cloud Jello

If only I could play with some
