Hatch - 16 Peachtober

I have the most amazing story to tell you!!!

I mean it’s quite a fascinating scene.

There was a nest in the window

With a bird that would sing

One morning I caught a glimpse of eggs -

I counted….maybe four?

They all started to crack and shake

My eyes waiting for more

I gasped and was very startled

As a beak began to show

Eight tiny beady eyes greeting me….

And to them

I said Hello!

Aquarium - 15 Peachtober

A teacher had once told me

Their favorite field trip

Was unlike any other

They went to see 

What had to be -

Every fish you could find 

in the deep blue sea.

But I took that as a shock 

‘Cause there’s one thing they forgot.

There was that time

We stood in line

To see a Zebra mop.

Brush - 14 Peachtober

I’m having such a bad hair day!

Don’t even know what to wear day!

I’m sleepy and I’m yawning…

…YAWN…

And washing my face didn’t wake me.

I took a brush to my hair to straighten

- But nothing seems to help.

I tried,

I tried,

And tried some more

Then let out a sigh…

“OH WELP!!!”

Marble - 13 Peachtober

Such an appealing smell invades my nose

I cannot wait to take a taste!

I spent this morning and afternoon

Kneading dough and placing icing on some cakes.

I made many rolls, some cupcakes, and pastries -

Marbled brownies and cookies fill a shelf.

You would think all of this was made for a crowd…

But Nope!

It’s all for myself!

Bark - 12 Peachtober

I took a stroll one afternoon

To a park around the block from me.

A new neighborhood site 

the city seemed to have built overnight

And that’s when I saw an old tree

A giant compared to those around

A trunk that was so wide.

I sat under it for a moment

To take a break -

From the heat 

I wanted to hide.

So many branches and large leaves

And its roots ran real long

It’s bark was rough and furrowed

But held many birds that sang a song.

Seagull - 11 Peachtober

On a hot sunny day

I thought a trip to the beach would be quite nice.

I packed up all of my belongings 

and even thought I’d take my bike.

I made a few sandwiches -

Some lemonade and tea.

Packed a few extra

In case someone would want to eat with me

I arrived very quickly 

Set my blanket in the sand

Started eating a delicious lunch

But it was taken out of my bare hands

A seagull was just spying

While flying way high above

Took my lunch away from me

A sandwich that I loved.
