Our second graders have been studying worms and just had "vermismwothies" on Thursday. I teased that they had brought out all of the worms with their study. <br /><br />I'm always amazed how haiku can say so much in so few words. Enjoyed the alliteration in the second line.<br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-36304091501579290312015-03-22T12:55:15.037-06:002015-03-22T12:55:15.037-06:00Thank you for the new vision of how the worms are ...Thank you for the new vision of how the worms are released to roam -- the earth finally relaxes and turns them loose!

When my girls were little (and we lived where there were worms after a rain) they would don their rain boots and go on a "worm rescue mission" to return every worm on the sidewalk to the grass. I'm not so sure how the worms felt about their sudden relocation by tiny fingers.
