Today is the 30th and final day of my 30-day poetry-writing spree. I would like to say it has been a blast! Though challenging and more work than I initially intended. After beginning my quest, a need to add accompanying pictures and videos came shining through. This, of course, made perfect sense. So, I decided to take those tasks on as well.Did you know reading and writing poetry helps improve academic skills?
You can check out all 30 of the April 2013 poem-a-day offerings to share in my adventure; and if you are an adult, don't forget to share with a kid (or two... or three... or more!).
So now... without further ado… I give you the 30th April 2013 Poetry Month poem…
Have You Ever Eaten Off The Floor?
Ever
dropped a potato chip
Light and
salty and crisp
Right on
the floor
In front
of your feet
Making
you yell with a lisp
Candy bar
ever flip from your hand
Soon as
you tore off the wrap
Reached
to grab it
Quick as
you could
Still it
slipped down from your lap
Whenever
it is
Whatever
that falls
We rebuff
to toss bonbons in trash
The idea of fingers tossing yum deserts
Conjures acts of performing things rash
The idea of fingers tossing yum deserts
Conjures acts of performing things rash
Since no one wants goodies to go to waste
While tongues salivate to savor a taste
While tongues salivate to savor a taste
When accidental spills we bechance to face
Eating by default should not yield poor taste
Eating by default should not yield poor taste
In other words - when a yum goodie falls
Pay heed to these tips
Down to
the ground making you sore
Long as
it’s gum candy or chips
If no
need exists to lift with your lips
Choose if
you like to eat from the floor
You know what this means
If it
doesn’t cause slips
Or splash
like soda drippidy drips
There is
no need to skippity skip
Little
floor-eating nippity nips
Devour
those goodies
