Poem #23

Here is Grace's poem...

         Grace


   Little   wild   dancer
   Made   her   mom   and   dad   laugh
   Mom   sings
   Every   night
   Daddy    reads   stories
   Every   night
   Grace   galloping   on   a   horse


Today Grace gave us a real challenge! She said, "Let's make every line a little story." Eventually we had to settle on another structure but not before working super hard! We all discovered it's a lot harder to write a story short than to write it long... So we'll keep Grace's challenge and try again another time. Meanwhile, this poem benefitted from all that hard work and each line definitely has its own glow, if not its own story.
