Friday Poetry: Tim Burton

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone has some good plans for the weekend.

My chosen poem this week is by Tim Burton.

The Girl with Many Eyes

One day in the park,
I had quite a surprise.
I met a girl,
who had many eyes.

She was really quite pretty
(and also quite shocking)
and I noticed she had a mouth,
so we ended up talking. 

We talked about flowers,
and her poetry classes,
and the problems she'd have
if she ever wore glasses.

It's great to know a girl
who has so many eyes,
but you get really wet
when she breaks down and cries.

Tim Burton

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

What I am Currently Reading

I have been thoroughly enjoying reading all about the local ghosts near me but I must admit the book does feel rather rushed for me.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I really enjoyed this book and it has made me realise that I miss reading Dickens so it is high time I dug out my Dickens books and started reading them again.

What I Think I will Read Next

As per usual I am never quite sure what I will read next.

Please drop me comment with your WWW Wednesday and I will head over for a visit.
