Bud’s Picture Poetry Month

Well, just as Slice of Life ends, so begins poetry with pictures over at Bud the Teacher’s blog. Each day, Bud posts an interesting photo, with a little bit of guided thoughts, and asks for folks to submit a poem.

Today the photo and idea around breaks inspired me to write this poem:

I’m breaking in
so you can break out
with those dance moves you’ve been working on
with the Wii.
I hear you down there at night,
with speakers on low,
your feet pound-pound-pounding to the beat
while I am deep in sleep,
dreaming of the microchips that carry the rhythm
of you.

And I am trying to use Vocaroo to record my poems with Bud.

Peace (in the night),
Kevin
