Let's hope I eventually have enough time to organise this poem onto the 'ABC' page! I still haven't attacked 'linking'! I'm too busy reading other peoples' Blogs! Anyway, here goes with an alphabetical rhyme for children based on the letter 'G'.
GOODNESS! A GARGOYLE!
How good to be a gargoyle!
Oh what gigantic fun
To grace a giant edifice
And glower in the sun!
I'd rather be a gargoyle
Than a goblin or a ghost.
Yes, a gorgeous grinning gargoyle!
That would please me most!
I'd stick my ghastly tongue out
And gargle through my teeth
Spitting at gazing gentry
Gambolling underneath.
I'd guzzle drips from rain-drops
And gulp the gnats ands flies
I'd never suffer giddiness
In my great gargoylish guise.
My giant ears would stick-out
Quite gross and like a geckos
And I'd greet each day with guffaws
That would glance off all the echoes.
I'd look quite geriatric
In a way that gargoyles do.
Not glittering or glamorous,
But I'd be looking down on YOU!

Reminds me of the gargoyles on Notre Dame - they all seemed to be having some sort of inside joke among themselves! If this is for children I'm glad to know my inner child is alive and well!
What a clever rhyme. I am sending it to my granddaughter. I just hope she enjoys it as much as I have.
Thank you.

ps Thanks for the poem about the "catty" bears.
It was wonderful.
Thanks for the Mr. Linky advice. I'll certainly have a go!

Thanks, I think I needed that...
Music was nice too...
Ugly old gargoyle - doing a good job there!
That was fun!
He reminded me of the gargoyles of Notre Dame, too!
(And a little bit like the flying monkeys of the Wizard of OZ)
gorgeous grinning gargoyle! lovely!
G is for Ganpati Bappa Morya! To find out what it means click here
What a great rhyming poem. Would be perfect for children's books.
As a retired teacher, I love the poem, but you forgot to highlight the G in "gnats" to show children that sometimes the G is silent. Love it!

This poem was a hybrid. I wrote a much less scary version for Kindergarten children (five year olds) so I didn't acknowledge the 'gn'. I adapted it for ABC Wed. and made it a bit more gruesome but I still forgot the 'gn'. As a phonics phanatic I can see I erred. Thanks for your comment.
CUTE one!
:-)
You poetry is most unique - and you have the most perfect photos to go with them. I have much enjoyed this visit!
Liked the lines
"I'd rather be a gargoyle
Than a goblin or a ghost"
Agree with kml - unique poetry and apt pictured that go with them.
Clapping hands! I love this poem!
