Poetry Friday

Today’s poem is an original by my 9 year old son and me. Justin Matott and Terra are holding a contest on their blogs for a gross food combination poem. See the details at Justin’s blog and Terra’s blog. My son had fun thinking up silly food combos. Anyone want to come over for a sundae?

Here’s our entry:


HOW TO MAKE A BRUSSELS SPROUT SUNDAE

Slice the banana.
Line up each sprout.
Pour the hot fudge
With a scream and a shout.
Dot it with mustard.
Ploppity plop plop.
Your sundae’s complete
With a cherry on top!

----by Kelly Polark with help from J-Man Polark, age 9

I also have a word puzzle in this month’s issue of Stories for Children magazine titled “Into the Telescope.” Check it out here!
