My goal for Poetry Month: TINY THINGS. My choices may surprise you, but I'm excited to write, share, and read how everyone writes to meet their special goals for celebrating poetry month.
In Each Mind’s Eye
I’m a baby elephant and tiny.
Don’t laugh, you’ll see. It’s true
that when you greet my mama,
it depends on point of view.

HA! Now I see what you mean about keeping our minds open about your choices of TINY!!
ReplyDeleteTruly, I will do the "other" definition of tiny, but it is all about POV, isn't it? Thanks, Mary Lee.
DeleteHa! Tiny is certainly a matter of perspective! Nice surprise. Love the picture, too. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Irene, fun to do!
DeleteI saw the pic before I read your poem. You surprised me. I expected the poem to be about some small animal in the grass, but the POV is what really matters as tiny baby elephant pointed out.
ReplyDeleteFun to surprise, Ramona. Thanks for the response!
DeletePOV is relative. I loved seeing elephants this summer in Africa, and one of my students raised money to adopt an orphaned elephant.
