Diamante

 

Books

long, short

Enchanting, exciting... boring?

Beginning – end, comfortable-keepsake

Shading, hiding, interesting

Small, Grey

My hat

 

 

Haikus

 

I love the summer

We always go to the beach

We swim and splash.  Yay!

 

Charging down a hill
whisps of hair fly in her face,
laughs, heart pounds. Run fast!

 

 

 

Limerick

 

There was a fat man in Age,

who kicked at the door in rage.

While he had been out, his wife had turned stout!

And now they are on the same page!

 

 

Diamante

 

Gage

Rotund, bald

Stumbling, laughing, babbling

All boy - all girl

lisping, hugging, running

fancy, dress-up

Mollen
