On Poetry Jam today the challenge is to write about the word "bridge". One of the forms of poetry featured there today is the Puente - meaning Bridge in Spanish.
I decided to go the common route for bridge, even using "bridge" as my bridge in a Puente. No deep meaning here. Just a bridge - from over and under... you know the story...
Tip tap,
trip trap!
My tiny hooves rap!
I'll eat as soon as I'm over
~ the bridge ~
so fine,
all mine!
Perhaps I will dine
before you get to the clover!
