Thanks for this, Diane! I love your poem.

I went to my bookstore and ordered the book. I can see this as a fun way for students to play with their vocabulary too.

Happy August!

Isn't it fun to find new things to try with the kids? It's so much more fun than just trying them out yourself. There's something about sharing that discovery, that makes it all the more delicious. thanks for your comment about my poem.

Thanks Amy. I love the poetry prompts at Miss Rumphius's site. They always teach me something new.
