Not A Purple People Eater ( Childs Lit )



This was  a fun challenge for In Tandem where the Picture was the prompt 


Not a Purple People Eater 


I'm not a purple people eater, 
My diet is much ,much cheaper, 
I'm a creature that lurks in your mind,
Just colour the purple within the lines, 
Take chalk, crayons or what ever you wish. 
All thoughts of horrid monsters will be banished, 
You can hang me on your wall,
Where I'll protect you from all things creepy, 
Until your eyes gently close,
 Then you'll feel safe
 and 
Very 
Very
 Sleepy !


Also Submitted to dVerse Poetics Poetics a great site for poets to share and submit their work.

  7. nice....how cool would it have been to have friendly monsters as kids? to keep the others in the closet...or as adults to chase our much more mature monsters away...

    have a great trip...

  13. I used to love the purple people eater song when I was a kid. That is a great story/poem to go with the image Kez. Good job.
