Pigsley
My little pumpkin bat
You were five dollars at Target
I loved your shade of purple and orange
Your fangy smile
Your softness
And your squishable body
I put you on my lanyard for the whole world to see
I hope I don’t lose you
It was difficult giving you a name, I had to resort to www.babynames.com
Your original name was Pugsley but along the way I messed up
And called you Pigsley
But I think it fits you better
I know you are Halloween themed
But I will display you through the whole year
So Pigsley
Lets enjoy our time together
I wrote this poem about my keychain Pigsley, and it has no deep meaning. I started it by saying where I bought him and why I bought, and then went on to saying where he currently is, to me giving him a name and ending it with me wishing to have him for a long time.
I really love the fact that Fatima went through a baby website name for her keychain plush. She mentions that it has no deep meaning but I feel like even if there's no big meaning, a lot of people can interpret it as something bigger than what it actually is. I also noticed that from the start she knew the keychain would be important to her.

I liked that you wrote about a keychain that you bought, and that you included how you came across it. I liked the first stanza where you described it with "your shade of purple and orange/ Your fangy smile/ Your softness/ And your squishable body."

While reading this poem, I started to get a warm feeling of love that you feel through your five-dollar lanyard plushy. I loved the line. "I know you are Halloween-themed But I will display you thought the whole year." This poem was short and simple, which fits Fatima's personality. I could image a pumpkin patch full of leaves and the spirit of love.

I really love the fact that you included the website that you had to resort to just to give pigsley a name. My favorite details was how you described pigsley. I also noticed that you structured you writing by describing pigsley, where you placed pigsley, how you came up with pigsley name, and the theme pigsley is, even though its past that theme, it's pretty unique. Pigsley is awesome and so are you!!

One of the phrases I liked in this poem was ¨I put you on my lanyard for the whole world to see¨ it really showed how much appreciation she had for this object and that she was proud of it. My favorite detail is how she stated she wanted to enjoy her time together with the bat it and how it really expressed her love for it. I noticed how she wrote it as if she was talking to a person. This piece reminded of my dog and how connected he is to a stuffed turkey plush that he never lets go and always keeps beside him and how he possessive he is with it.

You have no idea how much I am crying, the sweet tenderness in your tone expresses the love and adoration from your pumpkin Bat. I would be honored if you signed an autograph. I hope to meet Pigsley too.
