Hi, everyone
My kids went to a poetry workshop recently and had a fabulous time, hearing poetry, writing their own and making huge pictures (on the back of an old roll of wallpaper) to illustrate one. The event was to raise money for 'Children of Chernobyl'. They came home and asked if their work could be put on the web (since mum spends so much time there) ... Tornado, by Jason (age 8): a shape poem Tornados can go at about 1200 miles per hour. They surround hurricanes or tidal waves. Tornados a r e swirling vortices of wind. They can suck u p things up to as big as a church. They are very deva- stating and can destroy whole forests at a time. by Elizabeth (age 6): a prose poem Our guinea pigs squeak when they are hungry. When dad squeaks he They eat hay, salad, apple, carrot, grass, dandelion and guinea pig food. |

Dear Jason and Elizabeth...
Jason - your mum can post your poems here at MM anytime! I liked it and you even used a big word: Vortices - cool! :cool: Elizabeth - I used to have 2 when I was a young girl too! One was named Angel who was a white albino and the other was named Tootsie (after my most favorite candy)! Tootsie and Angel even had babies too! :wolf: I look forward to reading more from you both... Cheers! ~Cleo :pharoah2 ·······  ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.
