If anyone can make it happen, you can. <br /><br />Linda A.Linda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16517546647672781332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-45331768382878357142012-04-08T14:10:24.311-07:002012-04-08T14:10:24.311-07:00Yes, this is my pin wheel.

I've done cut out poems before. I have a poem that the kids cut out the poem into a BIG loop so they can step into the poem and experience it in a new way. It does jumble up the lines. Then kids write their own poem to cut out and wear and exchange lines with a partner. In the end it makes a HUGE poetry party with lines going everywhere and all sorts of new poem ideas being generated. <br />But I love the idea of writing poems on pin wheels. I think this would make for a really fun poetry celebration where we could all plant our pinwheels at the end of the exercise. Of course the poems would all have to be short--maybe about the wind, spring, birds. They could be couplets, quatrains, haiku. I'm going to have fun thinking if I could fit a FIB on a pinwheel. What a great way to have kids experiment with re-arranging lines. <br />I could see a coloring book with 20 pin wheel poems that could be colored and cut out. And of course blank forms for writing your own pin wheel poem. Ah, you've started a whole new poetry form. Doesn't it sound like fun--pin wheel poems? I'm excited.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-48669583011210204772012-04-08T13:48:14.326-07:002012-04-08T13:48:14.326-07:00Joy,

I would love to see a poem on a pin wheel collection. Would you consider it?<br /><br />Happy Easter!Linda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16517546647672781332noreply@blogger.com
