I'm loving the New Year as I've made changes in my schedule. No longer teaching family history sunday school classes or doing the HWG-Heritage Writers Guild Newsletter, I have time to add new things. Today I attended my Image Catchers camera club and made contact with a retired professor who will help me learn how to make an IMovie with the .mov files I made of my newborn grand daughter Lorien. Then I joined the local chapter of Utah Poets Society and attended their first meeting. We had a lesson on poetic forms then read some of our own poems and got a critique. I'm been writing children's animal poems like crazy since I overcame my slump after the holiday season. I'll include another free verse one here. On to new adventures in the new year. I love it!
SKUNKS-OH NO! by Lin Floyd
Skunks are the crazy-est stinky-est critter everIf you don’t believe me then you haven't met one
They are easy to find with just one white stripe
Right down their back, the rest of them is black
Their smell you won’t forget especially if
They ever spray you, you’ll stink forever
Only a tomato juice bath and time will help
Anyone coming near you will yelp “oh no”
