Poetry Friday: Family Hound

It’s Poetry Friday, and I wanted to share my latest Poetry Tag offering. In case you’ve missed my previous posts about Poetry Tag, it’s a blogging game I share with my poet friend, Rebecca Newman. We take it in turns to give each other a set of words which must then be incorporated into a poem.

The latest words Rebecca gave me were:

As soon as I looked at the words I had an image of a spotty dog slipping and sliding around. This is the poem I came up with from that image and those words:

Family Hound

I am Spot

Dotty hound

Grotty hound

Sometimes tangly

knotty hound

 

I am Spot

Slippy hound

Yippy hound

Sometimes wet and

drippy hound

 

I am Spot

Leapy hound

Creepy hound

Sometimes tired and

sleepy hound.

 

I

am

Spot.

(Poem Copyright Sally Murphy, 2016)

 

Now I’m off to think up some new words for Rebecca. Have a great Friday.  You’ll find the Poetry Friday roundup at To Read To Write To Be.

First Reviews

It’s always an anxious wait for the first reviews of a new book, so it was wonderful today to discover the first two reviews are online – and they’re both positive.

Eva at The Multitasking Woman says “If you’re a parent of a budding chef or Masterchef fan, this is the perfect book with food being the central theme.” You can read the rest of her review here.

And Pat at Readplus says ” with its short chapters, interesting characters and touch of suspense, will have its readers eagerly waiting for the next installment.” You can read the rest of her review here.

As a reviewer myself, I know that reviews aren’t written for the author – but, as an author, I must say I’m delighted!
