Holy Moley lived underground,
and he had faith in above.
So his thoughts did resound
that life was guided by love.

Nowy Cowy was very zen.
Live in the moment did he.
The eight-fold path he walked
and sometimes rested beneath a tree.

These two short poems, posted for Monday, were written in response to a prompt at NaPoWriMo to write a nursery rhyme.
Good nursery rhyme fare.
ReplyDeleteHoly Moley's good!!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Mr. Walker. I bet your students will enjoy these!
ReplyDeleteViv, thank you.
ReplyDeleteSweetTalkingGuy, glad you liked "Holy Moley".
Mary, thanks. As a treat after our standardized testing, I plan on sharing some that I've written so far this month. If I did it now in the midst of testing, they'd be too distracted.
Good job with this prompt. I liked the second one best. I'm all about the zzen and resting under the tree. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove 'em Mr. Walker.

Gloria and Pamela, thanks for stopping by and commenting. Your kind words are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI like 'Nowy Cowy' for a name.
ReplyDeleteTilly, it was serendipity. One of my sons wanted to watch Chicken Little on DVD and I was hearing all these names: Foxy Loxy, Loosey Goosey, etc. and it wasn't hard to find some inspiration.
ReplyDeleteNeat nursery rhymes. I like both Holy Moley and Nowy Cowy. There's a lesson in both.
ReplyDeleteSpirited and playful. Is that redundant? hmmm...
ReplyDeleteJudy, thank you. I'm glad you liked them both. I think they complement each other.
ReplyDeleteBrenda, thank you. There's not much better than spirited playfulness or a person with a playful spirit. If that's redundant, I'm okay with it.
Good job!
