Comments about Bruce Larkin
A Sad Love Story
His chances of holding her
Were the same as going to the moon.
There's no happy ending to the story
When a porcupine loves a balloon.
I use your poems all the time in my classroom. They are great! Keep them coming.
Poetry should be fun and Bruce Larkin makes it so with his words. Thanks a lot, Bruce!
My daughter is a huge Bruce Larkin fan. She is always laughing at the silly poems you create. I have also benefited from A Giant Hopes for Visitors poem when it comes to cleaning time :) Keep them coming!
I asked you to keep posting and you were kind enough to do so. My students say you really are the world's funniest poet. Please keep posting. I could use one poem for each school day.
These poems are really funny. Don't stop writing.
