Once upon a time
I caught a little rhyme
I set it on the floor
but it ran right out the door
I chased it on my bicycle
but it melted to an icicle
I scooped it up in my hat
but it turned into a cat
I caught it by the tail
but it stretched into a whale
I followed it in a boat
but it changed into a goat
When I fed it tin and paper
it became a tall skyscraper
Then it grew into a kite
and flew far out of sight...
I really liked and enjoyed this imaginative flight of fancy. Yet feel the last stanza does not fit. The 'tall skyscraper/ Then it grew into a kite' would be better as 'When I fed it tin and paper it became a tall skyscraper Then it shrank into a kite and flew far out of sight...' Just my opinion, the image fits better.
What a delightful Poem! I will save it to read it to my grand child.
Beautiful piece of poetry elegantly embellished with poetic rhyme and rhythm. A lovely work of art.
An amusing poem which can be recited so easily and seems fantastic.
I really liked this poem a lot. Easy to read and imagine...
