I checked out the #NaPoWriMo website today for a topic to write today's poem. The topic is a Charm poem. This is a new form me. So below is my attempt to create one. It's a poem that has a recipe/nursery rhyme form. Enjoy!
Charm for Good Hugs Version 1
Lean forward
Reach around toward
Tuck your arms
Firmly rest your forearms
press each finger in to the soft
Rotate hand oft
Inhale his scent
Exhale in content
Bury your face
Pattern your ear to track his heart pace.

Charm for Good Hugs Version 2
If you see him and you want him, lean forward.
Reach around toward
Tuck your arms
Firmly rest your forearms
If you care and you show it
Press each finger in to the soft
Rotate hands oft
Inhale his scent
Exhale in content
If you love him and you know it
Bury your face
Because that will surely show a trace
If you love him and you know it
Track his heart pace.

Can you guess what nursery rhyme I used?

I like them both...kinda made me think of twinkle twinkle little star wait is that a nursery rhyme?! Either way I like these great job!
I had Hokey Pokey in mind, but that may not be a nursery rhyme either. It's actually funny to read back over this poem and how I tried to make it work for the sake of creating a Charm.
