APRIL 13, 2011
It’s National Poetry Month! (Part 2)

To celebrate, Belmar Library’s teen advisory board, THE DREAM TEAM, wrote some poems as a group.  Within the poems you will find sense, nonsense, and a whole lot of in-between.  If you can and if you dare, dear readers, please share in the comments a word that rhymes with PURPLE!

#4
Generally speaking, pencils write well
In the words of my brother, they’re quite swell
Though some people prefer to write with pens
I do enjoy a pen that mends
And every sentence I articulate
People always speculate
Whether I write in pencil or pen.
 
#5
Oh squiggly line
How you squiggle squaggle across the page
Gracing each line with flit and flourish
Delineating the meaning
I ponder your squiggles, your squaggles.  Why do you
Wander so far astray?  How can you
Not be mine?

Stay tuned next week for some more poems...
