This Is Just to Say, Cat

Eli & Elsie

After a day chasing my tail, looking for poems in all the wrong places, Jenna’s poem inspired me to create my own THIS IS JUST TO SAY poem …

Riddle

I was in a waiting room.  Waiting.  So I pulled out my favorite pen. The barrel is pink but the ink is not. I adore this pen beyond reason.  I found it abandoned a few month ago, and ever since I adopted it, my heart goes all pitter-pattery when I zip open my backpack and see it.

Rings

gold ring with eye, decoration, ring

I finger Mama’s golden ring,
remembering when I ruled as king

How Easy It Is to Fly on Paper Wings

I am reading Charlotte’s Web for the ten thousandth time.
I have read this book over and over,

so the words are worn and pressed—
I can scarcely make them out.

I Heard My Cat Cry

Can you write your own poem based on the structure and rhyme scheme of Herford’s poem?
