Okay I’m back from the milk run and ready to write a poem for day 19 of Rena Traxel’s AtoZ Poetry Challenge. But first, please head over to Mike’s blog, his way with words will make you smile.
Today Rena has a special guest, my good friend Ishta, who is there critiquing Rena’s picture book query letter. The tips are great!
We have free reign today to do any poem. I might just make it up as I go, but I’ll need a picture, hmm…

Today the word squish came into my head
I loved how it sounded so I tucked it in bed.
It wriggled and rolled and fell on the floor,
it squished a poor teddy and rolled out the door.
I chased Squish and wrestled it down on the ground
and when I looked up do you know what I found?
The squish couldn’t squish anyone anymore
‘coz Squish was a big mess all over the floor.

Haha, very fun and cute. I’m used to seeing “Squish” all over the floor from my two girls.
Hee hee.
HAHA! Fun poem! I think this is one of my favorite ones of yours so far.
And, you’ve done it again!
This poem is awesome, and you chose the perfect picture to go with it. I do hope that poor baby’s face returns to its original shape
And thanks so much for linking to my latest blog post!
Thanks for the Squish love folks! It’s just something I squished up
You’re welcome Mike of the Realm
You find the coolest pictures. Poor squishy baby. I want to pinch those cheeks, too. Love your poem.
Very cool um I mean Squishy!
You made me laugh
Very fun!
Poor squished baby, fancy staying like that for that long
Do you know “Squish Rabbit” by Katherine Battersby?
I know, I know, she does not spell “Catherine” correctly, but we must give her some leeway because her bunny book is so charming.
Now when I hear the workd “squish” I can’t get it out of my head! PPBF material someday!
We’ll forgive her lol, thanks Cathy I’ll look out for it.
