Position:Home>Poetry> My edited poem. Much better please read. What do you think?Question:I took my daughter to a toy shop today I let her out and she went off to play Her eyes lit up like fire; as though they were sparked by the show of colours as we embarked into the passage in this sanctuary of toys. Bouncing ‘round straight over to the pink display Where a princess dresser lassoed its prey She sat on the stool with glee an’ brushed her hair within the mirror where her face did glare Smiles of euphoria; as innocent as can be. Then over to where the instruments did lie Drums, pianos, recorders and bull’s-eye! An xylophone; she went into the zone Nodding her head to the song of her own Drumming away freely with no effort nor’ rhythm. She then found all the many bright Disney balls All different sizes; how she recalls! How she desires one with her adored Tigger She strides ‘round now with a hearty swagger; Holding her chosen ball, bouncing it upon the floor. It’s time to leave once I manage to catch her and strap her back in and cause a big stir Oh how she objects when I prise her away It’s her wonderland; real eventful day! I’ll come back another day and get her Tigger ball. - Kirsty Mapes Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I took my daughter to a toy shop today I let her out and she went off to play Her eyes lit up like fire; as though they were sparked by the show of colours as we embarked into the passage in this sanctuary of toys.

Something I'm sure we all can relate to. And the ending is so incredibly realistic. I never got toys right when I asked for them either. Only the parents that spoil their kids do that. It's pretty good, but you should get a better rythym to it. I still like it though! I only read about 2 lines of every paragraph. Pretty good what are disney balls? |
