Slurp! slurp!
See those pigeons poop and pee where they will…
Flit and fly
High and bye…

Peck me free
I’ll guard your eggs
Groom your legs
Worship you forever!

Itch! Itch!

The four pages above are from Jeanne’s graphic novel: “The Roller Skating Ant”: Chapter 3.
I posted it to go with Catherine Johnson’s poem:

Catherine Johnson’s Tongue Twister

Trains of thought
and thoughts of trains
and strands of hope
and hope of strands
of love and kindness.
Kinds of things
and things of kind
and kinds of peace
and peace of mind
and minds of trucks
and dolls in trees
and journeys in trains.

Tongue Twister# 26 Aardwolf

This is a graphic for Catherine Johnson who has been evolving her aardwolf:
Mine is more of a wolfvark.

Aardwolf
not scary;
ardent,
awkward,
airy,
hairy.

Sniff it we did

Poetry in a stack:
diamonds in the rough;
Polish with your singing voice:
tenderize the tough.

Riddle#8 Waterski

I was recently inspired by Catherine Johnson’s poem, and wanted to accompany hers with this one.
Water skiing

Lock those elbows!

Ride
upright
when you ski;
bended knees: elbows
rigid, pulling tight, grabbing quick!
Swish through waves, sway, drag, wake-create a flash, glint of gold!
