My attempt at poetry

My sister's post for Wordful Wednesday was about poetry. She wrote some lovely words, as she is a fantastic writer! You should check it out. Anyway, our librarian here at school has monthly writing contests with our students and faculty. This month's theme was the write a poem about your favorite things. You had to include favorite things from your childhood, present day and future. I figured I could enter this one because I at least had a song from The Sound of Music I could use as a pattern. If Meg is brave enough to post her poem, I supposed I can, too. So bear with me and sing it with the tune, makes it easier haha :)

Snuggles from Grandma
And tucked in at bedtime
Muffin, our puppy
And candy for a dime
Taking vacations with my family
These are a few of my favorite things!

Having my own home
And planting my garden
Playing canasta
And scrapbooking often
Cooking homemade bread so my home smells great
These are a few of my favorite things!

Taking vacations
And seeing Big Ben
Touring the Louvre
And rating it TEN!
Riding the train all through Italy
These are a few of my favorite things!

And there's my little poetic attempt :)
