So funny! I am saving this. The acrostic one about bowled me over. Thank you for giggle on this snow day, Mary Lee! xo
ReplyDeleteI want to be a poetina when I grow up. The uppa dippa folana banana kind!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Amy about the acrostic! Happy New Year, Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you shared these, Mary Lee. Fun and funny to imagine being a poetina! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeletePoetrinas Unite! :) Yay for Agnes's slant on poetry... I am all for having time to do pottery and sharpshooting.... and then to write poems about them! Yay also for your first One Little Word, Mary Lee! May it enrich your life this year. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat? Poets don't have to share candy bars? I'm in. Thanks for the laughs this snowy morning, Mary Lee.
ReplyDeleteLoved these. It is a nice humorous diversion from my frost bitten toes here in the below zero temps!
ReplyDeleteI long to be a poetrina.
ReplyDeletePoetrina! Love this comic! We take ourselves way too seriously, we poetrinas.
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Love that poetry is being explored in a comic! Thanks for the smiles today! =)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. In Spanish would it be a La Poetrina (like latrine)?
ReplyDeleteLoved the acrostic.
Loved these! Thanks for sharing them! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteFabulous, Mary Lee! I especially like the one where she doesn't seem to be aware it rhymes! Thanks for the laughs.
ReplyDeleteWonderful--acrostics taken to a whole new level. Thanks for the smiles.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent way to welcome the new year! But I'm still slightly concerned I may bust a knee rhyming one day.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!!! Yes, I love the acrostic one, too. Thanks for sharing, Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteHilarious, and spot on. No, I don't like sharing my candy bars, and yes, you might get whomped for being a smarty-pants about my writing. ;-) Where did you find these?
ReplyDeleteToo, too funny! I especially loved the acrostic poem (and pinned it to my Poetry board). Thanks for the chuckles.
ReplyDeleteViolet N.
I LOVED these! I strive to be a poetrina, too! And I never thought about why I never have to share my candy bars...poetrina's are often found alone with their chocolate. Thank you for making me LOL.
