2012 Kidlit Progressive Poem for National Poetry Month

The Kidlit Progressive Poem is moving across the blogosphere with a new line added each day by a new writer. Irene Latham has organized a schedule and the poem runs April 1 to April 30 in honor of National Poetry Month. Today I add line 9. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my birthday than contributing to poetry.

Below you will find the poem and the schedule so you can follow along.

If you are reading this
you must be hungry
Kick off your silver slippers
Come sit with us a spell

 

A hanky, here, now dry your tears

And fill your glass with wine

Now, pour. The parchment has secrets

Smells of a Morrocan market spillout.

 

You have come to the right place, just breathe in.
