The Clothes Eater by Isaac

I got this idea from the poem called "Dinner Guest" out of Where the Side Walk Ends by Shel Silverstein.

Ah, it's the Licker Picker
Beware, when you hear it
Growl and snicker.
He'll gobble up your
Clothes and you'll be
Trapped in the snow, so
Run away into
The mysterious unknown!

What I liked about my writing is the way I used the action verbs like "gobble", "growl" and "snicker". It helps the story sound more alive to the reader!

What a cool poem, Isaac. It is kind of scary and funny at the same time and you used some really great words! Some day I will be able to tell people that I am the Nana to the famous writer, Isaac Ries. Love, Nana
