My Peter Poem by Belle Wassermeister

My Peter



My Peter is a little runt;
he's barely one inch tall.
He's never tried a risky stunt;
he fears that he might fall.

He was invited to the dance
and thought that he might go,
but then decided there's no chance
that he would ever grow.

Oh, Peter, that poor little runt,
who stands just one inch tall,
he'll never battle on the front;
there's just no chance at all.

Poetry can be serious or funny. Even silly. Keep writing.

As a matter of fact, I HAVE read that. Sorry for the slow response. There are probably hundreds of comments that I've never seen because I seldom log in. Why do you ask?
