One Single Impression: Birdie

.

Birdie

Two-ish little child
Watch the birdie she was told
What to do was missed

Dad to the rescue
Used kids' vocabulary
Say cheese did the trick

The word, Birdie is prompted at One Single Impression

Birdie was suggested by Kaykuala of Rainbow .

Sort of: a PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 3

.
Sort of
Sort of a slow day, he could tell
he stayed in bed till almost nine
coffee in the pot getting stale
was still hot he teased his senses

Awake enough to eat a bite
what would it be? a hard boiled egg
couple pieces leftover ham
and half a slice of toast with jam

Glass of juice completed his meal
sort of

The above is a better...........
breakfast that he could.........make on a better day...........

I wrote this for a 2011 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 3 prompt, to write a poem beginning “sort of”. But the site below did not like my cookies so I did not register my poem with them. Their loss, perhaps.http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/poetic-asides/poetry-prompts/2011-november-pad-chapbook-challenge-day-3

On July 18, 2017, I linked this ditty in recognition their sixth year anniversary to "The Imaginary Garden with Real Toads", http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-tuesday-platform_18.html
