Hello! I am back after a long hiatus. This weekend we are experiencing an unusually warm weekend in Western New York- I suspect we broke the record high of 60degrees. Even though we are very much in the middle of winter, today makes me think of warmer days and springtime. With Springtime comes the March Madness poetry tournament. If you are a poet, consider applying to compete in this fun, challenging poetry competition. You can apply at
www.thinkkidthink.com. I am getting warmed up for some heavy duty writing by revisiting some poems that I wrote last year.
One of my students tried her hand at "how-to" poetry and I'd like to share it with you now. Welcome, Charity to Thinkinginrhyme!
