Earth and Sky
Two twig men went walking by.
They tripped and fell but didn’t cry.
The sky was blue, the ground was dry,
So they stayed to watch the cloud men fly.
Two cloud men were flying low.
They saw two twig men down below.
They wanted to stop and say hello,
But the wind said no, so they had to go.

I can see kids relating to this personification poem, Liz!!
🙂
I just saw on FB your goal for April, Liz. This is wonderful, amusing what can be imagined when you stop long enough to do so.
I love the idea of twig men. This is so cute!
Fabulous poem, Liz! Not only the way you took these two twigs and gave them life, but that you told each of the their stories. = )
What a terrific poem. It’s amazing to me that you see a poem where I see something that should be swept away. I need to change the way I look at things!
BC gives it two thumbs up. It’s lovely. Whimsical and meaningful. Hard to do in one small space, but you definitely did!
I like rhythm and rhyme and young children do, too. This is a good poem to stimulate imagination for an art project.
Thanks for posting each day. My big idea of writing one a day for my own enjoyment is going slowly. Still working on Day #2. Ha!
