Have you heard …

You know, I always thought it was interesting how some people only write about out-of-the-ordinary happenings. Psh, yeah, not like that’s me or anything…
Well, today I am writing about something so painfully ordinary you may not even want to read it.
Yes, I probably should have saved the warning for the end.
Now it doesn’t even [...]

For writing class, we were assigned to each write our own free verse:
This is a
Poem
That I
Wrote
Please do
Not
Blame me
For
The little
Quirks
Inside this
Poem
Because I
Never
Wrote one
Before

I sat upon the shelf with a bow around my neck
And I tried to sit up still, and to hold my head erect
And I looked at all the children and I tried to look my best
But if you’re a teddy bear, it is rare that you are dressed.
After months upon that shelf I began to [...]

Hi!
Wow. What an original way to start a post.
Just wanted to let my Readers know that you may be seeing a whole lot more poetry here, but I will also be blogging about the events, occurrences, happenings and goings-on in our house, which I am sure you look forward to all the time. =)
Also, [...]

The lady walked into the milliner’s shop
And asked what the store had in store
He replied, “Nothing better to cover your top!
With cloches, berets and more.
Sombreros, and fezzes, and caps, and a beanie,
And top hats, and bowler hats too,
In colors like purple, and chartreuse (it’s green-y)
And red, orange, yellow and blue.
So many options, you may have [...]

There once was a guy who ate chocolate pie
And would swim in it all the day long
But once, as he munched, his lovely pie crunched
Or at least as is said by my song.
The thing in the food, it quite startled the dude,
Who never ate cashews or walnuts
The thing in the pie, it disgusted the guy
Not [...]

I was just looking at some of my older posts and realized as I was browsing how much I use(d?) the word “anyway”.
I was also thinking how, when speaking out loud, we tend to frequently utilize unnecessary words in random places (e.g. So, yeah, like, I really, um, yeah, liked that).
And then I began to [...]

Yep.
This one was written for New Year, so I guess it’s ever so slightly late, but here it is nevertheless:
On the day of New Year’s Eve
The world is sitting, waiting
For the day we all believe
Has cause for celebrating.
Staying up till late at night
Watching on TV
Down pole to drop a ball of light
And then we scream, [...]

Hola!
I suppose I have observed that there have been some interesting things happening around here of which I have lately neglected to write (ooh, nice grammar). Anyway, I was emailing a friend about what’s new with me and realized that I forgot to tell the rest of you!
Well?
Aren’t you going to tell us what [...]

I turned an already-existent joke into a poem and, at the request of family and agreement on my part, I shall now present it to thee–er, you:
Sherlock Holmes and Watson
Were camping out one day
And after several hours, Holmes
Woke up and said, “Hey!
Dr. Watson, see the stars
High up in the sky?
Say what you can tell from [...]
