Illustrating “I Once Met a Man…” tickled my funny bone! You can find this idiom-packed poem by David McMullin on page 2 of @littlethoughtspress.com Issue 13: Head, Shoulders, Spleen & Nose.

Monsters - by Ian Brownlie 


Do you believe in monsters?
Like that one found in a loch,
or the fella wrapped up in bandages
giving people such a shock.
Do I think there are monsters?
I’m not sure that I should,
but I’ve heard of a large-footed one
lurking deep inside a wood
Are you scared of monsters?
A dragon’s fire and claws?
Or the huge ape climbing buildings;
a giant reptile that roars?
Should we watch out for monsters?
We hear about them lots.
There’s a witch I’m sure who likes to boil
small children up in pots.
Is this world full of monsters?
Could zombies line my street?
Will I find a beast inside that maze?
Make my neck a vampire’s treat?
Do you believe in monsters?
Could these tales be true?
Well, if ever I bump into one,
I’ll be certain to warn you!

Killing two birds with one stone would be an unfortunate turn of phrase for this poem - but using @thetoypress.bsky.social #wordoftheweek #pootle and #NaPoWriMo prompt for the day, I’ve come up with this! Thank you both! #poetry #poetryforkids 🐦‍⬛ 🐦‍⬛

When writing haiku for kids, I tend to stick to the 5-7-5 syllable form. For teaching purposes, it's just easier to explain. Now, you could argue that a traditional haiku deals with nature and not sport. But what's more natural than baseball in spring?

Two limericks in a row? And this one isn't even new? Shocking. There is at least a video in which I put on a silly accent. @thetoypress.bsky.social #WordOfTheWeek
