Lucy Riding a Moosey and her Flying Grandmother

in poetry •  8 years ago 

'What on earth are you doing?'

My grandmother asked

'And why are you riding a moose?'


'It's make believe grandma,'

I said with a grin,

'Young girls don't always tell the whole truth.'


'But grandma I've noticed,'

I said with a frown,

'That at night you don't sleep in your room.


'The window's left open

The curtains aflutter

And why do you smile at the moon?'


'And why for that matter,'

I asked with knit brows,

'Is your clothing entirely black?'


'And why a black cat?

And why a broomstick?

And why some dead toads in a sack?'


'My dear little girl,'

She said with a smile, 

'Make believe is the realm of young'

 

'But old ladies on broomsticks

Who fly through the night

Know that being a witch is more fun.'

This is really well done! If you haven't already, you should consider writing some kids books and getting them published on amazon or something. I know my nieces would love more like this.

@lucyridingmoosey good one .
I suggest that you post an introduce yourself post - it really helps every author when their face is out.
Make one that shows a pic of you holding a paper that says Steemit + date you joined + you name.
Good luck!

Good one! :)

I'm certain you just physically warmed my heart. That was wonderful. What inspires you to write?

I wish I was a witch.
