And so, friends, we have come to the end of the March Limerick Madness.
Of course, this day brings a new reason to post and poeticize profusely: on April 1st we begin National Poetry Month. No foolin.’
Throughout the next 30 days, I’ll be sharing some new light verse of my own and bringing you a few delicious little discoveries, including wonderful visual poems that meld words and rhythm with moving images.
Today’s post, a fitting end to the Limerick-A-Day challenge and a fabulous kickoff to National Poetry Month, features two verses by one of my favorite up-and-coming young writers: my daughter Ella.

Easter Mourning
I’ve now got a rich chocolate bunny,
And to be quite honest, it’s funny:
What I really want
Is something to flaunt,
And that something is some pocket money.©2013 Ella Stankiewicz

April Rules
A whoopie cushion might burst,
So always fear for the worst.
What trick is planned?
Perhaps one that’s grand,
For today is April 1st.

Reblogged this on My Little Birds Love Reading and commented:
Poetry and rhyming words are a super fun way to boost your little bird’s reading skills!
I look forward to memorizing Ms. Ella’s poetry during a lovely stroll one of these days — her verses are perfect for Poetry & Motion, that’s for sure!
Well done, Ella!
