NaPoWriMo 2024: Day 8 : An Ode to Barnie, the dinosaur
Today’s daily resource is Poem Today, a twitter account where you’ll typically find at least one poem every day, and usually more.
Our prompt for today (optional, as always) takes its inspiration from Pablo Neruda, the Chilean-born poet and Nobel Prize Winner. While he is most famous in the English-speaking world for his collection Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, he also wrote more than…

A Fairy’s Recipe for Brownie Bread
Seven drops of golden honey
Seven pats of creamy butter
Then you add a fist
Of dandelion flour
One good speckled egg of sparrow
Berries crushed with blossom-sugar
Whisk it well and set
To rise for half an hour
Dust a rolling pin with flour
Spread the dough an inch in thickness
Score it thrice across
The top before proceeding
Brush it with the dew collected
Solely from the morning Daisy
Bake an hour and
Ta-da —
Pleasant eating!
____________
Alternate Lines:
Cool it fully, slice it nicely
Top it if you please with chocolate
Any way you like it — pleasant eating!
Sing a merry song of whisking
With a melody for mixing
All the music
Makes the treats
Soft and sweet
Dance a jig and leap together
Landing softly as a feather
All the dancing
Makes the pastry
Extra tasty

During this time of social distance, take the time to nourish your roots so your wings are stronger when it's time to take flight again. For those parents new to this "homeschooling" thing, enjoy both the quality and quantity time you have with your kids. Soon the world will be pulling you in different directions. Building strong communities starts with building strong families. Tell and show your kids how much you love them. Let them know that no matter how high they soar, you will always be a safe place to land.

Salutations is an original, comedic and philosophical 44-word composition. I originally wrote it as a short story for a job application. However, it rhymes, and when broken up into lines, it works poetically too!

I'm tempted to say that I'm not a poetry fan, but that wouldn't be entirely true. What I'm not a fan of is SERIOUS poetry. Adult poetry. Ponderous poetry. What I loooove is what poetry becomes in the hands of some with a silly sensibility, a way with words, and an audience of kids. Alice Schertle's "Button Up!: Wrinkled Rhymes" (2009) is a lesser-known but wonderful example of this. 👟👟👟 A book of clever, funny poems about clothing, written from the clothes' point of view, and illustrated in charming detail by Petra Mathers, this is a fun exploration of familiar objects from new perspectives. I love poetry for short storytimes and for prompting conversation with young kids. This is a great one to add to your library list! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #noodlenutskidsbooks #buttonupwrinkledrhymes #buttonup #wrinkledrhymes #aliceschertle #petramathers #poetry #poemsforkids #poetryforkids #poetrybooksforkids #childrenspoems #childrenspoetry #readpoetrytoyourkids #ilovereading #booknerd #fortheloveofpoetry #booksbooksbooks #readaloudrevival #readingwithkids #childrensliteracy #kidsbookshelf #childrensbookart #teachersunite #kidsbookreview #booksinverse #literacyskills #schoollibrarian #schoollibrary #kindergartenliteracy https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ksymcnh3o/?igshid=fje5veoewfel

Something a bit different today - a poetry book. * This poetry book is certainly one to have a chuckle at, with lots of silly poems and verses. Not all of the poems rhyme but all have their quirks and I am sure children will soon find their favourites. * The poems are illustrated by Quentin Blake which I am sure you can see by one look at the very distinctive pictures. They certainly add to the silly feel of the book. * A wonderful book to promote poetry and to explore the different ways we can write poems and how versatile poems are. * * Bananas In My Ears Written by Michael Rosen Illustrated by Quentin Blake Published by Walker Books * * * * * * #quentinblake #michaelrosen #walkerbooks #childrenspoems #childrenspoetrybooks #kidsbooks #kidsbookshelf #kidsbook #childrensbooks #childrensbookstagram #kidsbookswelove #readingforpleasure #readingforpleasurenotschool #funnybooks #sillybooks #readwithyourkidsdaily #sillypoems #funnypoems https://www.instagram.com/p/B1n2vHDH7bZ/?igshid=1otxio5hykzgv

The Seelie Wight
His glowing eyes of silver
Will shimmer in the night
When summer’s golden afternoon
Begins to lose its light
The little bearded creature
That they call the Seelie Wight
The golden rays of Summer
Begin to lose their light
And that is when his silver eyes
Begin to glimmer bright
The little bearded creature
That they call the Seelie Wight
His little eyes that twinkle
With mysteries untold
His jacket green with yellow trim
And buttons made of gold
And when he asks a favor
He repays it seven-fold
He beckons you with one hand
And holds you in his sway
He leads you through a doorway in
A hidden passageway
But always brings you home again
Before the break of day
He’s very fond of singing
He’s quite without compare
He sings a song to charm you
As he braids your golden hair
And then he sings so you’ll forget
That you were ever there!
But every night he steals you
To marvel in delight
As Fairies play their Fairy games
Throughout the silver night
Then travel home again beside
A smiling Seelie Wight
*****
ALTERNATIVE:
As summer’s golden hours
Surrender to the night
You’ll see him coming down the hill
By evening’s gentle light
A sprightly bearded creature
That they call the Seelie Wight
His silver eyes that twinkle
With mysteries untold
His jacket green with yellow trim
And buttons made of gold
And when he asks a favor
He repays it seven-fold
He beckons you with one hand
The other points the way
One hand is young and full of life
The other’s old and grey
He leads you off and brings you home
Before the break of day
He keeps you close beside him
Between the silent trees
His voice is like a silver bell
That echoes in the breeze
Enchanting you the whole way through
With ancient melodies
At first he sings to charm you
You feel as light as air
And then he sings a wistful tune
And braids your golden hair
And then he sings a song so you’ll
Forget that you were there
He does this every evening
He steals you in the night
And each is like the first time
As you marvel in delight
Beside the singing of the one
They call the Seelie Wight
*********
And like a fleeting dream
And when you’re in your cozy bed
You’ll wonder where you’ve been
And close your eyes as silver dreams
Of Fairyland begin
And he’ll be back tomorrow
By evening’s dying light
And like a dream, you‘ll recollect
His singing with delight
And travel on into the night
Beside the Seelie Wight
*****
Alternative lines:
When daylight’s golden hours
Are giving way to Night
That is the time that you will see him
In the fading light
Arriving in the evening
By summer’s dying light
A little bearded creature that
They call the Seelie Wight
Will come to lead you far away
Into the silver night
He sings to you the whole way through
Resplendent melodies
He’ll ask you for a favor
And repay it seven-fold
