April - Poetry Month - Day Twelve - Limerick

 

       Happy Poetry Month, where poems parade in the streets, run like rivers within our veins or settle in our hearts every.single,time. 

       I am planning to use this older book pictured left that follows the alphabet with one kind of prompt each day. I used this book on occasion in the classroom years ago, but never worked through it day by day, with deliberation! Here goes!

       Limericks are not so easy but finally, I came up with a topic and it's spring, the temperature is 85, setting records. Many colors will soon begin to appear!

April - Poetry Month - Day Four - A Surprising Loss

It's April. It's Poetry Month!

         Remember to check out the list of what everyone is doing at Jama Rattigan's blog: Jama's Alphabet Soup.

          And check on the Water Poem Project where every day, a poet is sharing a prompt connected to water, hosted and created by Laura Shovan!
          
           Plus! Check each day for the added line to the Progressive Poem, created by Irene Latham, now hosted by Margaret Simon! The link is above!







           A leap with the theme of CIRCLES for poetry month, poems & small sketches. I am looking forward to reading everyone's posts. I'm sure I will love each one, knowing they're done during a time we've not lived before. I am worried about so many, those close and those far, my community, too.
         Best wishes for continuing good health to you all!

Here's Number Four - a limerick

TP

The last time I bought I was hurried.

I picked up a four-pack and scurried.

The surprise that when gone,

all sang the same song:

“They’re out everywhere!" Now I am worried!
