I’m a little late with poetry Friday this week… but here ’tis. A quick-grab how-to on the fabulously fun solage. For those of you who like a joke – or know some kids who do.
Thanks to Teacher Dance for hosting this week’s Poetry Friday.

I will share with others, Kathryn. What fun these are, and I imagine they’re more challenging than they seem, as you say!

An early morning solage:
I smile as my cereal bowl is filled
But now I’m frowning at the milk —
Empty!

Ha! Funny one, Tabatha. I think that’s me, after my boys have had breakfast!

Okay, Kathryn, by the time you see this, it’ll be Sunday morning, but here and there I’ve been trying out the Solage. Here goes:
In dance, I wear a net tutu,
am now allowed my first toe shoe.
Big step!

Oooh. That does sound like a big step! (And I can’t help but wonder if there’s a ballet term for a ‘big step’.)

I love how these feel like they are going somewhere and then…
stop.

What a fun little poetry form! The cricket one is my favorite. Reminds me of long afternoons in front of the telly when we lived in Sydney. Never did get all those rules down, but I did like Gilly and his “Nice one, Shane.”

Oh! How lovely to hear, Michelle. I was wondering if that one might stump American readers.
