Gearing up for National Poetry Day

National Poetry Day may not be until Thursday 7th October but Rochdale Readers are honing their poetry skills already.
The theme is "Home" so we've been thinking about words that come to mind, here is Rachel's poem.
Rachel's Words
Welcome to my
Nice
.....New
.......Lovely
.............Wonderful
...................Comfortable
Home

Of course, Ray being Ray he couldn't help adding his own slant to Rachel's words

Tap dripping, Mum flipping,
Dad fast asleep (wonderful!)
Cat's been sick, that's a new trick,
Dog's chasing sheep (nice!)
Roof leaks - two weeks
No slates seem loose (comfy!)
Could move, change groove
But really, what's the use? (lovely!)

Faiza joined us on the day and was inspired to write this poem

Faiza's House
Come inside to my
Colourful, comfy house.
It has a beautiful
Kitchen with yummy
Food and a lounge
Which has a big TV.

Thanks for those brilliant poems, Rachel and Faiza. I suppose we have to put up with Ray (well, he does bring the squash and biscuits!)
We're all looking forward to 10th July when we meet up again
