Ants on a Log

Ants on an old log
Crawling through the green moss
Think that it's the woods

Let It Blow

I have some candles
A fire in the wood stove
Let the wind storm blow

Little Miss Muffet Remixed

Sitting quietly
A spider invades my space
I jump up and scream

A Sign of Fall

Dear spider, oh why
Must you build your web each day
On the path I walk?

Still Summer

Sitting in my class
I'm staring out the window
Still really summer

Picnic in the Park

Picnic in the park
Eating underneath the trees
Avoiding the ants

Welcome Back Rain

 

I don't mind the rain.

My garden needs the water.

The plants are happy.

 

 

Rain Delay?

Has it stopped raining?
Has the sun shone outside yet?
Is it summer yet?


I wrote this poem the first week of vacation when we had several inches of rain north of Seattle.

Twinkie Mourning

I am just saying

I would have to like Twinkies

To mourn their passing

Frosty Morning

I am running late

Swirls of frost on my windshield

No time to admire

40 Days and Nights

We've had forty days

Without any rain at all

Seattle? Really?

 

A Natural Alarm Clock

Rooster calling me

Early on my uncle's farm

It's time to get up.

Summer Haiku

I lie in the grass
I eat a fresh, crisp apple
It is green and sour.

Rapunzel's new career

Have you heard about

Rapunzel's shampoo contract?

She does commercials.

Miss Muffet's Spider

Have you heard about

Little Miss Muffet and her

Big ugly spider?

Mrs. Bauer Says...

"Please do your own work."

"If I need help I will ask."

"Take care of yourself."

Rhododendron

Rhododendron
pink flowers, new buds
are blossoming into spring
winter is over

Division Problems

Division problems
I remember all the steps
Dead Monkeys Smell Bad

Resolutions

My New Years resolve
Is just about over now
I must start again.

Place Value

4786

+294

I hate regrouping
Can't the numbers stay in line?
I hate place value
