POEM ZONE

I love to write poetry and I like to see kids laugh and smile. So I often write humorous poems about things that happen to kids or feelings many of them experience. I sometimes write about how I feel, too. Easy as Pie is a poem in a collection I’ve written entitled The Secret of Play.

Easy as Pie

by Janet Lawler

Feet planted apart

get a head start

take the last stride

hand open wide

easy as pie

just reach for the sky

But quick as a blink

no time to think

it dips in a dive

as if it’s alive

the Frisbee –

it fools me

completely

un-cools me.

Easy as Pie Exercise makes me feel good and helps me focus when I sit down to write. I like to play different sports. I think I am a pretty good athlete until I try to play Frisbee. This poem is about how silly I feel when I can’t catch one. It seems so easy, yet somehow isn’t. The only thing harder than catching a Frisbee is throwing one! But I always have a lot of fun trying!
