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.

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.
