Help, I'm stuck to duck duck up a tree!
Oh Horace! not again, It happens every day,
That this small dragon (too young to fly),
Just loves to climb, I dont know why.
Perhaps he follows next doors cat,
Or chases birds, or failing that,
Maybe climbing is what they do?
You see, to dragons, I'm fairly new.
One thing I do know, he can't get down!
So please forgive this weary frown.
The fire brigade are on their way,
Whatever will they think today?

Haha!
This put a smile on my face- something a poem hasn't done in a while. It seems every poem I come across these days is morbidly depressing, and it is refreshing to read a fun one:
"The fire brigade are on their way,
Whatever will they think today?"
Lovely ending. -
Oops...
I forgot to give you those aplauses!
Hehe! Here they are for you little one!
-
Haha!
I liked that, it was funny, and the rhyming made it go so good! You did an awesome job on this one! You deserve the applauses I am going to give to you
SO! TAKE THEM WITH OPEN ARMS!
And make your way merry
Maybe keep this in the spot light to pass on the smile and chuckle it gave me and surely those prior to myself
Good write! -
It's short and it made me laugh, good job.
-
great
that was pretty good. what was your motivation for picking a dragon. that poem sounds like it could use just about any animal. dont be offended my favorite creature is dragons i cant get enough of them. but what made you pick dragon. do you like them or were you just trying to be creative?

haha! This is an adorable write and well suited for children! I love it to pieces! Best wishes in the contest you've entered!
-
That was a nice read ....Thank you for sharing
-
Short and sweet. This makes a lovely childrens poem. Nice little story... good flow and rhyme ( except one - tree/day... are you Scottish? If you are, it works ) I think it would give life to some wonderful illustrations, and would easily keep the interest and imagination of a young child amused. Nicely written, good job!

lol tbh I completely failed to notice the failed rhyme there. It was a quick write, and may have started as free verse...

Hi Silverstar, I dont see what I have done wrong. If you look at my authors notes, The first symbol is a # Is this not what you wanted? It said to put "option #" and I did use that symbol as required. It seems wrong to have DQ me as I obeyed your rules.

thanks
Thank you so much Shelley. This is the first childs peice that I have tried to write. Ideally I wanted it to be longer, but it seems to work just as it is

A very good write. Imaginative. I enjoyed the humor of the piece. Good imagery, flow, rhyme and tone. Very nice rhythm. Nice depth of feeling. Good word choice, alliteration and nice assonance. A child would really enjoy this poem. Well penned.
