There is also a word of the week for us to include if we can. This week's word is memories, which didn't fit into my poem, so I had to use it in my title (which doesn't count). The word is chosen by Grandma's daughter, Calico, before she sees the photo.
I want a dinosaur for Christmas.Only a dinosaur will do:
One to stand so tall,
To make my bro feel small,
He will cry every time he looks!

Fun poem!
Happy New Year! And thanks for your fun contribution to last week's Limerick-Off!
Not surprisingly, the one I just posted has a New Year's theme. Hope to see you there. :)
Hi Kay! Happy New Year! I'm just standing here watching fire crackers popping all around me. What a night!
Happy new days.
Happy new dreams.
Happy New Year 2012 :))

Sweet, sweet poetry!! I love the fact that the dino can make my brother feel small. [okay, I was the runt of the litter of five and I was always the smallest, so I can dream right along with this poem]
Love Lindy's anticipation of walking along in the waning hours of the day. Did you get any good sunset photos?
Oh and your shadow shots...fabulous.
Thanks for visiting, and may the new year bring you tons of traveling treasures and sharing it all with us.
I'm feeling sorry for your brother now! You are a mean little girl...
Hi Kay
Happy New Year to you ... and thanks for visiting my blog. :D
I have been neglecting my blog terribly over the last few months. Understandable, I hope, during November with NaNoWriMo but ever since I have been struggling to catch up with everything I put on hold during November!
I set myself a target of another 30,000 words by the end of my Christmas break (9th Jan) but I am way way way behind!
I am so looking forward to finishing the first draft so I can get back to making the changes to the early chapters that I now know I want to make!
As part of the Nano "winners" goodies I get 5 copies of my book printed by createspace - provided I submit it by 30 June. So that is my target - complete second draft by then. A tall order, so I suspect I am not going to be doing a whole lot of blogging any time soon.
Hope you can make Nano next time around - it's a challenge, no mistaking that - not least because it absorbs your whole thinking process. For me meant that meant I was not properly focussed on my work, even when I was in the office, but I am so glad that I took part.
Have a wonderful New Year and a rewarding 2012.

haha...that sounds like my boys for sure...smiles....happy new year!
Happy New Year, Kay.
A dinosaur for Christmas is much better than a brother, especially another one like her first.
I hope she gets it. If not, how about a dog?
..
Sibling rivalry rears its ugly head! Hope a dinosaur will bring fun times!
Happy New Year!
:)
Cool! Little Miss Gayla Peevey sang me your story as I read it!
Happy Newe Year!

Ah, sibling rivalry. Can't beat it :-)
The writer must have a very annoying brother who needs some annoying back. But, as I used to tell my sons, your friends will come and go, but you'll always have your brothers, so be friends with your brothers. And they still are close friends at 29, 31 and 33.
Poor little brother! I'm the baby sister of the family, so I can empathize with him. LOL
Ah siblings! Good one. :)
Mean! Poor baby brother.
As soon as I started reading I heard music. Took me a minute to identify why.
I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas
Were you thinking of this one when you wrote or is it just my imagination? Either way, I really enjoyed it.
It is a fun poem.
