It's another Poetry Thursday, folks, and it's been a doozy! So to counteract the dooziness of it all, something lighthearted and fun.
Thanks to my dear friend, Miss Melissa, for first introducing this poem to me a few years ago.
Crayon Pirate
There was a single blue line of
crayon drawn across every wall
in the house. What does it
mean? I said. A pirate needs
the sight of the sea, he said and then
he pulled his eye patch down and
turned and sailed away.

Pure and perfect. Thanks.
Oh, and we need to hang out.
I mean it.
I love this poem--partially because of the image it paints for me, partially because it transports me into childhood, partially because makes me smile every time I read it, but mostly because it does all of that in seven little lines. Isn't poetry perfect?
Oh, and I want to hang out too!
Poetry is indeed perfect.
And yes, let's all hang out! Please!
