Tanka You All For This Bad Poem

Posted on August 16, 2013 by Sage

Um, we wrote this REALLY BAD poem for Ku and Oz‘s Bad Poetry Day. I was embarrassed to even post it, but Mom insisted….

In all its glory, here it is!

Look at me go!

When the ground is dry
And the mud puddles are gone
Sage’s feet start flying.
Geese over-head in a V
Are fall (and rain) far behind?

I’m SO embarrassed that I think I’m going to dig a bigger hole and hide in it…. 🙂

Definitely not the worst poem she’s ever read according to our mom. She’s says if it is a contest for the worst poem, you won’t be winning. Enjoy your digging, Sage. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

  You are soooooo right! I even built a dam on my last hole–my engineering skills are getting better.

Oh Sagey…that wasn’t THAT embarrassing. You did pretty good on that Tanka, though I am sure Ku will be checking it over more thoroughly (since he is haiku and tanka pro). You keep on digging, my girl…but not so you can hide but because I know you love to dig and get dirty!

Thanks for entering our contest! How fun!

I think that our boys and Amelia may all work together to hide from their embarrassing poems I posted, Sage. But all of them together can’t dig like you can! By the way, I LIKE your tanka’s reminder that fall is coming and soon your hole will be for mud puddle rolling!

Sage, no worries. Just blame it on your Mom and keep on digging! (Just don’t dig in MY Mom’s yard, though, as she thinks it is much cuter when you do it in yours.)
