Have You Ever Seen
By Unknown

Have you ever seen a sheet on a river bed?
Or a single hair from a hammer's head?
Has the foot of a mountain any toes?
And is there a pair of garden hose?
Does the needle ever wink its eye?
Why doesn't the wing of a building fly?
Can you tickle the ribs of a parasol?
Or open the trunk of a tree at all?
Are the teeth of a rake ever going to bite?
Have the hands of a clock any left or right?
Can the garden plot be deep and dark?
And what is the sound of the birch's bark?

2021 SUMMER POETRY CHALLENGES:

We only have a little over a week left in our Achievement Hunter and 100-Poem Summer Challenges.  Both of these challenges will be ending on August 31st at midnight, MST. 

Please note it will take me a few days to award the final points.  I will be checking the comments on the "riddle" poems and be awarding bonus points for those, and will also be awarding points for those who have also participated in the 100-Poem challenge.  I will try to have it all done for the Chatter on September 5th. 

For full details on these two challenges, you can check out our books:

The Elephant
By Anonymous

An elephant slept in his bunk,
And in slumber his chest rose and sunk.
But he snored — how he snored!
All the other beasts roared,
So his wife tied a knot in his trunk.

Do You Carrot All for Me?
By Unknown

Do you carrot all for me?
My heart beets for you,
With your turnip nose
And your radish face,
You are a peach.
If we cantaloupe,
Lettuce marry:
Weed make a swell pear.

Funny Young Fellow
By Anonymous

A funny young fellow named Perkins
Was terribly fond of small gherkins.
One day after tea
He ate ninety-three
And pickled his internal workings.

This brings us to the end of another Chatter, thank you for joining us here.  We appreciate each of you and hope that you all have a super-duper fantastic week!!

Remember to... keep those pens and keyboards flying!!

Cheers from you Mystres of Chatter
