Dress-Like-The-Weather Day!






You have three choices before you: Dress-Like-the-Weather Day, Irrational Day, or Just-Another-Day. All this means is that I have invented/am celebrating Dress-Like-the-Weather Day by wearing a blue blue vintage skirt, a turquoise tank top with a bright yellow shirt over it, and a sparkly blue cap. It's a sunny day! And...today's poem is entitled "Irrational Day." On which note, I believe Talk Like a Pirate Day is coming up this Sunday...(!!!)


Irrational Day

What a day to take a chance
At flying through the sky!
I've never flown, I have no wings,
And yet I want to try!
For stranger things have happened, no?
In fact as well as dreams--
Last night I dreamt, to prove my point,
That everyone was green.
My mom was olive green, my dad
Had more a grassy hue,
My sister was a lovely sage,
But wore magenta shoes.
I told her she should change them,
Cause they didn't really "go"--
But she just danced around me laughing,
"Silly Sister!...No."
That's when I woke, and thought of flying--
Though, on second thought,
A twister's fast-approaching, so
I guess I'd better not.
I'm so bummed out. Oh wait, I know
What I could do instead!
I'll paint myself a shade of green
And dress in shades of red!

P.S. Obviously, those are not your only three options. Your day does not have to be boring if you don't dress like the weather or do something crazy. All i mean is that i hope you all have a wonderful day! :)

  1. You make me smile, and I hope you someday publish a poetry book with amazing illustrations. I think my kids (if I have them) will need that book.
