This week's prompt word for The Toy Press poem was 'Clumsy'. It takes a few days for me to write my poem. I get an idea and start it and then I have to subconsciously think about it for a few days before I am ready to write or finish it. I am in awe of those who write and post it within a day of the prompt!
Hope you like this one!
Natural
Disaster!
She’ll tread on your shoe,
She’ll trip on thin air,
She’ll stomp with two left feet
She’ll fall off her chair
She’ll stub her/your toe,
She’ll get in your way,
She’ll bump heads with you,
She’ll speak and spray.
She’ll knock your sandwich,
She’ll spill your drink,
She’ll confuse your chatter,
She’ll muddle your ‘think’.
She’ll snap your pencil,
She’ll break your toy,
She’ll rip your work,
She’ll always destroy!
She acts without malice,
It still drives me spare.
She’s just VERY CLUMSY,
Approach her with care!
The poem is dedicated to my childhood friend Leanne who used to play clarinet in Windband with me. I really liked her but she was SO clumsy- she was always treading on me, knocking things over etc- I could almost foresee what she was going to do but was never able to stop it from happening!!!
