As you all probably know, today is National Poetry Day. The theme this year is HOME. So, I thought to mark the occassion I would dress up like a poet and try and write a poem about where I feel at home.
Home is where?
Comfy chair
Computer stares
Solitaire!
Mouse and mat.
Here I’m sat
Facebook!
Watch rain fall.
Ideas fizzing
Hear words call
Smile!
Children smile back from the wall.
Tippity-tap, tippity-tap, tippity-tap
Stop for lunch
Munch! Munch! Munch!
Pencils, paper
Shelves of books
Screen and keyboard
Take a look.
Tippity-tap, tippity-tap, tippity-tap
Lost track of time
Going to be late
Again!
Little boy waiting at school gate.
Children sleeping
Turn on the light
Where did I get to?
Type into the night.
Tippity-tap, tippity-tap, tippity-tap
Printer whirring
Stapler clicks
Flick! Flick! Flick!
Great big tick.
Soft warm bed
Lay down my head
Star Trek beams
On TV screen.
Sleepy eyes
Words are creeping
Wait till morning!
Now I’m yawning.
Home is where?
… home
izzzzzzz
…there.
My son also wrote me a poem to put on my blog:
HOME
Homes are
Our
Method of
Expressing feelings
by Daniel Loughrey (Aged 12)
I think his poem is very clever and much better than my effort.

I love both poems.
Thank you Sue

Thought it was funny you dressed up as a poet. Do you think it helped?
Hello again Alice,
Yes, I think dressing up as a poet did help. :)
I have never considered poetry as one of my strong points and very rarely write any. So, I surprised myself a bit on National Poetry Day. LOL!
