Said a starry-eyed, non-boating male
To his wife, "Sammy's sailboat's for sale.
I must buy it! It's cheap!"
Her response was to weep
And reply "Better learn how to bail."

"My poor neighbor's not much of a saver,
So I did her a favor and gave 'er
Some financial advice.
Her reply was 'No dice!
I shall buy what I savor. Won't waver!'"

"I abhor cousin Stewy, it's true.
But don't judge me for feuding with Stu:
Yes I #harbor a grudge,
And I'm NOT gonna budge
Cuz he 'borrowed' and wrecked my canoe."

Here's a little bird,
and there's not a tittle heard,
and shares no bird word.

Said a woman, "It's easy to #lure me,
Because nothing can ever inure me
To fine choc'late's allure.
And of this I am sure:
There's undoubtedly NO way to cure me."

"Your nine dogs are a nuisance and blight,"
Said a neighbor. "They #bark day and #night.
Our whole block plans to sue."
Said the owner, "Boo-hoo!
Such ado! Let me know if they bite."

What advice does multi-published picture book author Carrie Finison have for other writers trying to get published with rhyming manuscripts?

#rhyme #rhymetime #writersofinstagram #amwriting #writingtips

A young fellow who hungered for power
Almost always looked angry; He'd glower
And he'd rage, then just stare,
But when met with a glare,
He (a delicate flower) would cower.

A #Limerick for #PunctuationDay:

When you #punctuate, please don’t be rash.
Over-use can turn prose into ash.
And a #comma misplaced
Lays your writing to waste.
Mark my words … or your readers shall dash.

Trying get a rhyming picture book published? This advice from multi-published picture book author Carrie Finison is for you!

An old woman was feeling discarded
By her husband, her views disregarded:
He had made a huge fuss
When she tried to discuss
Major issues, & called her "retarded."

"For mama" a poem by Daze

A felon was caught and convicted
Of serious acts interdicted.
After serving his time
He arranged for "sublime
Sweet revenge," not the least bit #conflicted.
