Lizard: A rhyme royal poem
Apr 9, 2021
Day 9 of National Poetry Month
Poems can be a play, like William Shakespeare’s, or a story, like Longfellow’s. They can be serious like those or, for today, fun.
Lizard
Once upon a time there was a lizard.
Small and sleek, she curled in a ball to sleep.
Safe in her den, avoiding a blizzard,
Her bed was of leaves, piled high in a heap.
But when spring came, from her den she did creep.
She yawned and she stretched and looked at the day.
To find a fat bug, she went on her way.
