I have fallen in love with cute little kid poems. I love the happy little rhymes that are so simple to understand. That's my biggest pet-peeve with other poetry. Why does it have to be so complicated? They all seem as if they are trying to be something they aren't. Grr poetry to me is just way to deep and fake!

Broccoli for Breakfast

Broccoli for breakfast. Broccoli for lunch. Broccoli that's tender. Broccoli with crunch. Broccoli for dinner. Broccoli for snacks. Broccoli in boxes and baskets and sacks. Broccoli for weeks and for months and for years. It's up to my eyeballs. It's up to my ears! I used to like broccoli but now, I'm afraid, its beauty, at best, is beginning to fade. It's lacking in luster. It's lost all its charm. But that's how it goes on a broccoli farm. An Ordinary Day There's a dolphin on my doorstep. It's an ordinary day. He's delivering the paper in his ordinary way. There's a bison in my bathtub singing ordinary songs, and some hippos having ordinary hippo sing-alongs. In the pantry there's a penguin painting ordinary scenes of opposums in their ordinary orange submarines. There's an ordinary rhino racing up and down the stairs, chasing ordinary chimpanzees and ordinary bears. In the living room are llamas dancing ordinary jigs, like a dozen rather ordinary llama whirigigs. It's an ordinary day for me; I promise you it's true. And I hope your day is simply extra ordinary too. Well have a nice day everyone :) -Madalynne "Nothing, of course, begins at the time you think it did" -Lillian Hellman
