30 Day poetry challenge: Day 17 Write a poem that employs a rhyme scheme.
My sister has been posting for days about cardboard boxes that my niece and nephew have made into a variety of imaginary things. Oh, the joys of childhood! And hats off to my sister for allowing these huge things to remain in her living room for days. I think we should collaborate on a children’s book or maybe I’ll just write a poem for the poetry challenge. Wherever your imagination takes you.
What can we create with a cardboard box? I know.
A slippery sled to ride in the imaginary snow.
Maybe a spaceship the flies to the moon!
Or the basket part of a hot-air balloon.
I can imagine the most perfect thing.
Race me to the door in a speedy machine.
Before our momma throws it out
Let’s make a clubhouse and lounge about.
Be sure to bring your favorite book
To curl up with in my
cardboard box-spaceship-speedboat-reading nook.
This is terrific, Margaret! And your nephew is adorable! I don’t remember playing with boxes as a kid, but my boys loved boxes. Thanks for sharing this!
