There are so many things to celebrate today.
Happy Spring.
Happy Poetry Friday.
Happy National Poetry Month.
And Happy Birthday to Lee Bennett Hopkins.
Today is Lee's birthday
Let him take a bow
As Hawaiians wish him
hau'oli la hanau
across the islands
Orchids growing
for lei in garlands
We watch the hula
with hips that sway
they're here to wish you
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
What do you have planned for the weekend? I am going to an orchid show. I'm also meeting with a group of women on Sunday to draw flowers.
Can you try drawing a picture and writing a poem about what you are doing this weekend? Have fun writing.
