April is poetry month! Let's write a poem!
The Winner: A Poem!
Readers of Parade, a magazine which is included in the Sunday edition of many newspapers around the country, were asked to write a 100-word paragraph with words of only one syllable but without repeating any words.
The following is the favorite entry:
I love carbs, but they don’t like me;
Look at my thighs, so all can see—
A curse that comes from too much pie,
Snack cakes, sweet tea, ham on rye.
Go to gym four times per week,
Dance class twice, stay with beat,
Bend knees, side step, back once more,
Hang tough, fall down, hit the floor.
Jump rope, bike hard, swim ten laps,
Push up, pull back, walk real fast.
Lean, mean shape and abs of steel,
Less food in, needs good strong will.
Now, for you, this tale is done;
Look out, bake shop, here we come!
--Pam Capps, Celebration, Florida
