Roethke's Poetry Exercise


There once was a dog that was blue
With soft ears biting a piece of wood
In its mouth. It looked up at the moon
After rolling in some red mud.

The next day it met a frog who swung in
To a cool pond without making a sound.
 This surprised the dog and she began
to run and cut her paw on a rock.

The frog came and apologized for frightening
The dog and kissed its paw to make it
Better. This was tough for the frog to do because
He was not kind and this burned him inside.
