Welcome!

This blog, Sparks of Imagination, is all about my poetry as well as my thoughts of the day and planning. Yes, Timmy Dunlap's poetry. That's right, I'm a 9 year old poet. If you don't like poetry (shame on you), then this blog is not for you.


On this blog, I will do all the kinds of poetry. I will put in smaller letters what type of poetry it is. That goes next to the title. So all I have to say now is ENJOY!

Timmy Bio-poem
Timmy

Funny, Imaginative, Creative

Lover of Mom, Dad, coming home from the snow and siting by the fireplace.

Who is able to be hilarious sometimes but can be serious at other times.

Who feels nervous on my debut show, on my first time on stage.

Who wonders about life in the next century, and if a super-nova will blow us up.

Who fears jitters in the middle of a show.

Who would like to be a professional actor on stage.

Who dreams that poem-writing will go on forever!   
Spring Time Acrostic
Smelling sweet honeysuckle and sap 
Peaches softer outside feels like spring.
Rough bark of the trees
In spring, you can do water ballon fights
Ncccccccruch! You can still faintly hear leaves crunching.
Geese squawk, coming back north  

Tons of bug bites
Igloos no more, even in Alaska
Muck on your shoes and dirt in your hair
Everything about spring is awesome (even bug bites!)
Light Blue Color Poem

Light Blue is like the first robin singing. 
Light Blue is as soft as a pillow.
Light Blue is the top of a tropical tree.
Light Blue is as sweet as a lullaby. 
Light Blue tastes like sweet peaches.
Light Blue smells like fresh honey. 
Light Blue sounds like a baby softly whimpering.
Light Blue feels like my first teddy bear.
Light Blue looks like new blueberries. 
Light Blue makes me feel inspired.
Light Blue is as tasty as sweet honeysuckle.

   Sun and Ice Diamante 

Sun
Burn, Sting
Torturing, hurting, beating
Heat, unbearable, -234 degrees Fahrenheit
Freezing, melting, shivering
Bitter, winter
Ice 

    Actor from Europe Limerick 
There once was an actor from Europe.
All the while he hoped to advertise syrup.
So he put on a show.
And quickly fell low.
That silly old actor from Europe!    
Balloons Cinquain 

Balloons
Floaty rubber
The POP is very loud
Balloons give most people joy
Aircraft
Memorial Day Rhyme
 This is a very special day. This special day in May. We remember those soldiers who died. They did it not with dishonor, but with pride. So that's why I repeat and say: remember those soldiers on Memorial Day!    
Homes   Haiku
Spiders make their webs.
Dogs live in their doghouses.
Humans live at home.

   Titanic  Haiku  
Set of 1912
The Titanic was the name.
It sunk by icebergs.

   Pencils  Haiku
 Pencils are helpful.
They help us do our work.
Pencils are the best.
