At Real Toads, Ella has given us the coolest challenge: to write a poem about a fellow Toad and see if others can guess who she is. I have no short term memory, so in order to remember details, they have to be really unusual. This may give it away right off the bat. Here we go:
This little fellow may
greet you at the door.
And there be creatures there
with toe pads that cling
to smooth surfaces.
Take care one doesn't fall
down your neck.
A precocious child
rules the hearth
and communes
with her
lovely spotted dog.
And someone with a guitar
is totally rockin' out
in the living room.
A Green Thumb
works overtime
in the summer garden
and home is
where the heart is,
but her favorite place
is the open road.
Is it Mama Zen? I really don't know! I love your alien lizard ;D
ReplyDeleteOr is it Coal Black?
Love it, great poem for someone wonderful, I'm not sure who though :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm.. I'd also guess MZ as keeper of geckos and mother of Baby Puppy.
ReplyDeleteSounds a bit familiar . . .
ReplyDeleteThis is a hoot, Sherry!
Yup - Mama Zen! I didnt use the word gecko, too much of a giveaway! Wikipedia told me it's the critter with toepads that cling to smooth surfaces - who knew?
ReplyDeleteAh Mama Zen...love the descriptions..
ReplyDelete... as Cosmo Kramer used to say ... 'oh mama!'
ReplyDeleteHas to be the Fabulous MZ!
ReplyDeleteMama Zen! She IS rather inspiring :)
ReplyDeleteher favorite place

Super poem, Sherry. I'd have to guess MZ, too, because of the geckos and Baby Puppy.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
