Poetry Friday


Welcome to Poetry Friday! Author Amok is hosting today. Visit Laura's site to see some wonderful links to poetry. The Midwest is being pummeled with snow. My oldest son woke up to ask if he had school today. I replied with the answer he was waiting to hear, "No, it's a snow day!" He ran and hugged me. The narrator in my original poem wasn't so lucky...

A Snow Day by Kelly Polark


A snow day! A snow day!
Angels in a row day!
A snow day! A snow day!
Bake some cookie dough day!

A snow day! A snow day!
Watch our dad snow blow day!
A snow day! A snow day!
Drink some hot cocoa day!

A snow day! A snow day!
Watch a video day!
A snow day! A snow day!
Turn on the radio day!

What did the radio say?
No schools are closed today?
I guess it’s an OH NO! day.
