poem
Today at work (school) we were doing poetry and painting. The kids had to paint a picture of wispy flowers and then in a space beside it write a poem. They're pretty young so I do this cool little trick where they have to write 4 sentences about something and then they swap sentence 1 with sentence 4, and it sounds poetic. I asked the kids to give me a topic to make a demo poem and the first kid I asked said, "Your favourite TV show!"
I was like, "um...my favourite TV show is too scary. I don't think it would make a pretty poem." I paused to try and make it work and then said, Nope. The other teacher in the room was laughing because she knows the types of shows I like (Dexter, SN). So, anyway, we ended up making a poem about 'the tallest trees' which was the next suggestion.
But, just off the top of my head, I'll make an SN one because I would have loved to been able to honour the first request.
Here goes:
(After the switch of line 1 & 4)
When will it end?
Through the pain and tragedy
Following them throughout their lives
These men who would die for each other

hmm, sounds a little cheesy. I guess it works better with nature poems. ![]()
Oh well, I tried. "The Tallest Trees" sounded better!!
Cheers,

Yeah SN and Dexter probably don't make the best children's poems...but we can definitely enjoy them!

I've been here and there. Works been busy. I'm just loving the show so much this season that I haven't been feeling the pull to suppliment with speculation etc., ya know? Great to hear from you guys though!! How are you doing, Pix and Puma?!
