Favourite Words

by Louise aged 11

Who said I had to have one word,
Not two or three or five?

These words that I have chosen,
Just make me wanna jive!

There’s kurfuffle and kerplunk,
Apricot and dunk.

And then there’s doala?
Okay, I made that up!

I need a word to replace doala,
It sounds a bit like koala?

But no… I want something else,
Ooh! I know… BANANA!

    Hi Louise. I’m enjoying your poems. I changed melon to apricot in this, because it needed an extra syllable to scan properly. I could change it to something else if you’d rather. It needs to be three syllables.

    When you send your next poem, include your school. Then I’ll be able to place you.
