8-year-old Havana Bananamon is the Banana Collective's poet laureate. The first words she spoke were not, "ma-ma," but a fully formed poem about banana palms.
Here is her contribution to that great institution, Caturday.
Caturday
by Havana Bananamon
It's Caturday all day today
βMy cat is strange, or so you sayβ
He has no fur but that's okay
We go outside and roll and play
βMskes every day a Caturday!β

Just who are the Banana Collective, and why are they writing memos?
GramNana explains "panties in a bunch," as only a grandma can
P.O.Tassium on The tragic banana extinction scare of 1968
Havana's other Haiku poems: Brothers and cars or Lunchbox or Up in the palm tree or Pollen or Summertime haiku
Nice one, Havana.
I have a short poem for you, too.
Yesterday was Caturday
Today is Funday
Tomorrow is Meowday.
But let's talk about today,
It's fun when I just sleep all day,
Or groom myself before I play.
Go outside? No way!
I'll stay with my Mum, hey!
She's the sweetest, I must say.

I love the poem, Miss @evlachsblog. You rhymed NINE lines, just like a cat's nine lives. I can't wait for Meowday to get here. :-D

You are a clever li'l banana, Havana. You noticed that the poem has nine lines. I did not even realise that myself until you pointed it out.

I like to count things, and your poem seemed a lot longer than mine. Usually I write Haiku, with only 3 lines, so this was a bigger poem for me. :-)

When are you going to turn nine, Havana? By the time you're 9, you'll be even so much smarter and have written more poems. Looking forward to reading more of your poetry, clever cookie... I mean, banana!

I don't think I'll ever be turning 9. I'm pretty much always gonna be the 8-year-old poet in the Banana Collective. But I'll keep posting poetry, 'cause it's one of my favoritist things to do.

Oh, you deserve a birthday celebration every year. But at least, it's like you're immortal. You will never grow old. You will never be rotten. You will always be a sweet banana.

We in the Banana Collective are partial to our Catnana. Not only is it the perfect pet, but it doubles as a tasty snack.

Thanks, @livia17. I usually write haiku poetry, so this rhyming poem was new for me.

Havana, I really enjoyed your Caturday poem, and I am a dog person. Even Furball, my dog enjoyed the poem (he was wagging his tail as I read it to him.) He asked me to type woof woof arf woooof. Translation in case you don't speak dog. She is an amazing poet!

Thank you, Miss @emergehealthier. I love all animals, so I'm sure I would love a dog named Furball! He is so nice to write back to me. Please give him a big hug from me.
