Thank you Penny for hosting today at her blog.
Are you ready for Super Bowl Sunday? Are you a Patriots or a Falcons fan or maybe a kitty bowl or puppy bowl fan?
In THE POETRY FRIDAY ANTHOLOGY for CELEBRATIONS, by the fantastic duo, Janet Wong and Sylvia Vardell, I have just the poem to celebrate this unofficial holiday.
These girls, now fifth graders, recorded this for me two years ago.
TOUCHDOWN!
Happy Friday!
Happy Poetry.
Check It Out 
I love those happy girls reciting!
Jone, my boys loved this poem! My son loves the third stanza.
Very fun, Jone. I guess I’ll watch and root for the Falcons because they’ve never won. Have fun yourself & keep off that ice!
I’m a Pats fan, by virtue of my geography and family loyalty, but now I am torn. How sad to have never won, and how greedy we New Englanders are to want our Belichick-Brady team to win a record-breaking fifth time. I’m still rooting for the Patriots, but now I’ll munch a few chips in honor of the Falcons.
I’ve always loved how you called it “football’s holiday” in this poem, Jone. And those girls did a great job. My daughter and her hubby got to go to the last Falcons game – very exciting. I’m not much of a football follower, but I’ll tune in Sunday. ;0) Have a great weekend.
Fun poem. I generally ignore most of the Superbowl, but this is one poem I could cheer for!
Superbowl=meh. Poetry=YAY!
I really love this poem! I’ve shared it at school visits when I talk about including the senses in poems.
Thank you, Penny!
