On our last day of Writing Class, actually called Freewrite I, we were asked to respond to one of two prompts:
"A recipe for happiness"
or
"When I rule the world..."
It just so happened that the table we sat around was strewn with rubber stamps and colored pencils and ink pads. They were preparations for a later activity, but I'm not one for waiting, when there are colors to be used.
Here's what I came up with.
~~~
Happiness is
perfect stamps
of soaring butterflies
and leafy bent old trees;
Happiness is a smiling sun
shining
on a rubber block
that I
can stamp all over your mopey face -
there'll be none of that
when I rule the world.

Shared with the real toads. Check out their imaginary gardens for much awesomeness!

I love rubber stamps. 'm glad you included the picture with your poem, too! By the way, fixed your link. I hope that people will try it again. Pssst...it's customary to link back to Toads when you link up with us, so that people can find the prompt.
