I HAVE NO
by April Halprin Wayland
I have no rain inside my house,
no grass instead of rug,
no tiny living dinosaur,
no belching monster bug.
No piano-playing fish with wings,
no daffodils on skates,
no snowmen in my bottom drawer,
no unicycling kings.
But do I have
a waggish dog?
Oh, yes, I have
a dog.
So, there’s no end of wonders
nor subjects
for a poem
in our exciting, topsy-turvy, dog-invaded home.
Poetry Prompt: Sometimes you have to get your sillies out. And look what I discovered: the word waggish means ” roguish in merriment and good humor; jocular”…how perfect is that?!?
It’s your turn. Get your sillies out–write your own silly poem.
