Today’s topic suggested writers focus on strange animals or pets…my furbabies fall into both categories. The writing form requested kenneling. Another first, I have never “kenneled” before today, and I can’t believe I have never heard about this form. This will be a fun poetry form that I will use with my sixth graders when we begin our poetry chapbooks. Happy Writing!
So delightfully true! Loved your poem!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you my friend!
Your so welcome, Ann. I’ve been lax in visiting since it’s been hectic around here. Hopefully, with the advent of winter, I can get back to visiting as I normally would.
I haven’t been writing until just recently. Summer was crazy!
Mine too. I just finished the online book I was writing, now I’m revamping it and I have 2 others to finish so I can’t quite wrap my brain around writing something else, other than the daily prompt Sheryl provides . Never thought I’d see that day!lol
I have missed writing; it’s hard to get motivated again. I thought the poetry challenge would help me get back into the swing of things. I wish I could write a book…so daunting…i’ve started two…
Well your writing is astonishing. Very real, honest, humourous and completely delightful. Your book would be awesome!
Hahahaha… I’m willing to bet this didn’t take you as long to write as the casual observer may believe.
Also, shouldn’t the title have been “Tails of the Family?” Ha
This was a fun read…Thank you!
ooh…I will have to remember that one! And I am glad you enjoyed it.
Loved this! Especially the Houdini Skedaddlers, I haven’t heard ‘skedaddle’ since I left the Appalachias and it was lovely to see it again.
glad you enjoyed it…
I can be such a savage. I thought “kenneling” always involved a box cage, suitable for traveling with one’s fur babies. But in poetry – who knew…?
It was new news to me too! And I want to try it with my sixth graders!
