Here is my entry:
WELCOME SPRING: A DAY AT THE PARK! (WC 147)
By Michelle S. Kennedy
Wake with sunrise…
Roosters crow.
Seasons change—
Goodbye to snow!
Dewdrops glisten,
coat the lawn.
Mama doe
has birthed a fawn.
Colors blooming,
on the ground.
Buzzing bees
are all around.
Birds are chirping—
Chittle-chee.
I think that is
a Chickadee!
Pitter-patter—
There’s the rain…
Knocking on
our windowpane.
When it stops, we
go outside,
grab our bikes,
and take a ride.
To the park in
record time!
Find a tree…
and UP! We climb.
Playground’s wet but
we don’t care;
slosh our feet,
Ker-SPLASH! with flair.
Rock wall… Sand box…
Monkey bars…
Look at all my
brand new scars!
Tetherball and
hopscotch too.
Oops! I almost
lost a shoe.
Next, the swing set
Then the slide.
Count to ten—
Now run and hide.
Tuckered out from
all this play.
Pedal home.
We’ve had a day!
March wind blows
We’re back inside.
Soup for dinner—
open wide!
