Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Each Thursday our friends, Teddy and Angel Sammy (Two Spoiled Cats), challenge us to write a poem about a photo they provide. This week’s photo is another super cute one making writing the poem exceptionally fun. Here’s the photo.
Toddler Ballerinas
Pam and Sharon’s moms wanted
Their daughters to be ballerinas, but
The toddlers were too small to reach the barre
And too young to achieve the positions, but
The girls loved their tutus and ribboned shoes,
As they felt like beautiful, little princesses.
So, each week, they eagerly went to class
And spun and tiptoed around the studio
While their moms beamed and clapped,
And their princesses grew into ballerinas.

Thankful Thursday
Today’s also when we tell you for what we are thankful.
Cooper Murphy is thankful for finding all 24 eggs in he Cat Scouts Easter Egg Hunt. As far as we know, he’s the only Cat Scout who found every egg. He’s thankful for that, but he’s even more thankful for besting his big brother, Mau, who found one less egg. They both earned a badge, and Mau won a catnip condor toy.
Both boys received PDF copies of The Cat Scout Handbook.
If you are not a Cat Scout, you are missing out on lots of fun, educational opportunities and service projects. Why not check out the Cat Scout site. Click on the Easter badge to go there.
Every single day, Kitties Blue and I are grateful for the friendship and support of our fellow bloggers. Thank you!
Thankful Thursday is a blog hop hosted by everyone’s pal, Brian. To join the hop, post on your blog for what you are thankful and then click on Brian’s badge.
Great poem. And congrats on finding so many eggs and winning great prizes. My boy only found one egg 🙂 XO
That was such a cute poem and hooray for such a fabulous Easter Egg Hunt, impressive! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Love the poem. I’d be right there cheering them on too. Adorable.
Way to go Cooper Murphy. You know I love you bunches.
Have a purrfect Thankful Thursday. My best to your peeps. ♥
I love that all of us bloggers have such wonderful ways of showing our love for our furry family members, and for the world in general!
After learning their craft may these girls dance their ways through life. Cooper, Wow! I only found 18 but had a great time doing it and beat Einstein by 1. That was the best part, MOL
We only had boys but my wife is hoping for a little ballerina grandchild.
MOL we love the poem!! ConCatulations to Cooper Murphy!! We only found 22. Allie is very proud of her husband for finding 23!
The Florida Furkids with smoochies and love to Mau from Allie and paw pats and headbonks to Sawyer from Noelle who also says to tell him to EAT!
Cute poem! Yes, I’m sure there are MANY little girls and boys who had ballet or dance “strongly suggested” to them by their Moms. Maybe it taught them to be more graceful, or less clumsy, or how to behave in front of a group – but at the time, I never thought of it that way…..I just felt AWKWARD! I do love this photo though – it’s adorable and I hope these two little ones are now prima ballerinas (or at least good dancers!) when they grew up. Thanks for playing poetry with us every week – we look forward to your poems because they always “hit the mark” !!
Hugs, Pam
Cute poem!
