NaPoWriMo 2024: Day 8 : An Ode to Barnie, the dinosaur

Today’s daily resource is Poem Today, a twitter account where you’ll typically find at least one poem every day, and usually more. Our prompt for today (optional, as always) takes its inspiration from Pablo Neruda, the Chilean-born poet and Nobel Prize Winner. While he is most famous in the English-speaking world for his collection Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, he also wrote more than…

A Fairy’s Recipe for Brownie Bread

Seven drops of golden honey Seven pats of creamy butter Then you add a fist      Of dandelion flour One good speckled egg of sparrow Berries crushed with blossom-sugar Whisk it well and set      To rise for half an hour Dust a rolling pin with flour Spread the dough an inch in thickness Score it thrice across      The top before proceeding Brush it with the dew collected Solely from the morning Daisy Bake an hour and      Ta-da —                Pleasant eating!          

____________ Alternate Lines:

Cool it fully, slice it nicely Top it if you please with chocolate Any way you like it — pleasant eating! Sing a merry song of whisking      With a melody for mixing           All the music                Makes the treats                     Soft and sweet Dance a jig and leap together      Landing softly as a feather           All the dancing                Makes the pastry                     Extra tasty

During this time of social distance, take the time to nourish your roots so your wings are stronger when it's time to take flight again. For those parents new to this "homeschooling" thing, enjoy both the quality and quantity time you have with your kids. Soon the world will be pulling you in different directions. Building strong communities starts with building strong families. Tell and show your kids how much you love them. Let them know that no matter how high they soar, you will always be a safe place to land.

Salutations is an original, comedic and philosophical 44-word composition. I originally wrote it as a short story for a job application. However, it rhymes, and when broken up into lines, it works poetically too!

I don’t sleep in much anymore, but sometimes I think I should.

I'm tempted to say that I'm not a poetry fan, but that wouldn't be entirely true. What I'm not a fan of is SERIOUS poetry. Adult poetry. Ponderous poetry. What I loooove is what poetry becomes in the hands of some with a silly sensibility, a way with words, and an audience of kids. Alice Schertle's "Button Up!: Wrinkled Rhymes" (2009) is a lesser-known but wonderful example of this. 👟👟👟 A book of clever, funny poems about clothing, written from the clothes' point of view, and illustrated in charming detail by Petra Mathers, this is a fun exploration of familiar objects from new perspectives. I love poetry for short storytimes and for prompting conversation with young kids. This is a great one to add to your library list! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #noodlenutskidsbooks #buttonupwrinkledrhymes #buttonup #wrinkledrhymes #aliceschertle #petramathers #poetry #poemsforkids #poetryforkids #poetrybooksforkids #childrenspoems #childrenspoetry #readpoetrytoyourkids #ilovereading #booknerd #fortheloveofpoetry #booksbooksbooks #readaloudrevival #readingwithkids #childrensliteracy #kidsbookshelf #childrensbookart #teachersunite #kidsbookreview #booksinverse #literacyskills #schoollibrarian #schoollibrary #kindergartenliteracy https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ksymcnh3o/?igshid=fje5veoewfel

Something a bit different today - a poetry book. * This poetry book is certainly one to have a chuckle at, with lots of silly poems and verses. Not all of the poems rhyme but all have their quirks and I am sure children will soon find their favourites. * The poems are illustrated by Quentin Blake which I am sure you can see by one look at the very distinctive pictures. They certainly add to the silly feel of the book. * A wonderful book to promote poetry and to explore the different ways we can write poems and how versatile poems are. * * Bananas In My Ears Written by Michael Rosen Illustrated by Quentin Blake Published by Walker Books * * * * * * #quentinblake #michaelrosen #walkerbooks #childrenspoems #childrenspoetrybooks #kidsbooks #kidsbookshelf #kidsbook #childrensbooks #childrensbookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readingforpleasure #readingforpleasurenotschool #funnybooks #sillybooks #readwithyourkidsdaily #sillypoems #funnypoems https://www.instagram.com/p/B1n2vHDH7bZ/?igshid=1otxio5hykzgv

The Seelie Wight

His glowing eyes of silver Will shimmer in the night When summer’s golden afternoon Begins to lose its light The little bearded creature That they call the Seelie Wight The golden rays of Summer Begin to lose their light And that is when his silver eyes Begin to glimmer bright The little bearded creature That they call the Seelie Wight His little eyes that twinkle With mysteries untold His jacket green with yellow trim And buttons made of gold And when he asks a favor He repays it seven-fold He beckons you with one hand And holds you in his sway He leads you through a doorway in A hidden passageway But always brings you home again Before the break of day He’s very fond of singing He’s quite without compare He sings a song to charm you As he braids your golden hair And then he sings so you’ll forget That you were ever there! But every night he steals you To marvel in delight As Fairies play their Fairy games Throughout the silver night Then travel home again beside A smiling Seelie Wight ***** ALTERNATIVE: As summer’s golden hours Surrender to the night You’ll see him coming down the hill By evening’s gentle light A sprightly bearded creature That they call the Seelie Wight His silver eyes that twinkle With mysteries untold His jacket green with yellow trim And buttons made of gold And when he asks a favor He repays it seven-fold He beckons you with one hand The other points the way One hand is young and full of life The other’s old and grey He leads you off and brings you home Before the break of day He keeps you close beside him Between the silent trees His voice is like a silver bell That echoes in the breeze Enchanting you the whole way through With ancient melodies At first he sings to charm you You feel as light as air And then he sings a wistful tune And braids your golden hair And then he sings a song so you’ll Forget that you were there He does this every evening He steals you in the night And each is like the first time As you marvel in delight Beside the singing of the one They call the Seelie Wight ********* And like a fleeting dream And when you’re in your cozy bed You’ll wonder where you’ve been And close your eyes as silver dreams Of Fairyland begin And he’ll be back tomorrow By evening’s dying light And like a dream, you‘ll recollect His singing with delight And travel on into the night Beside the Seelie Wight *****

Alternative lines:

When daylight’s golden hours Are giving way to Night That is the time that you will see him In the fading light

Arriving in the evening By summer’s dying light A little bearded creature that They call the Seelie Wight Will come to lead you far away Into the silver night He sings to you the whole way through Resplendent melodies He’ll ask you for a favor And repay it seven-fold
