I think that I shall never see
A billboard as lovely as a tree
because unless the billboards fall
I’ll never see a tree at all.
~Ogden Nash
April is National Poetry Month! I thought it would be fun–starting now–to post one poem a day here on the website and share with you some of the poetry I’ve loved since I was a kid. I have memorized so many…like this one above from my poetry hero, Ogden Nash.
I wonder if I know 30 poems by heart. I bet I do!
Do you?
Happy Poetry Month!
I do not want to come inside now!
I am having tea with Dragons
I do not want to hurry my bath!
I am swimming with Mermaids.
I do not want to brush my teeth!
I am dancing with Pixies.
I do not want want to turn out the light!
I am sword fighting with Goblins.
I do not want to go to sleep…
Good night little Princess!
Good night
