But let me know when the next Carolinas conference is and I'll see if I can make that. I still have kids in the Triangle. Will the next one be in Charlotte too? Thanks for all your support of my writing.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-62855065351184040282012-09-29T12:15:32.370-07:002012-09-29T12:15:32.370-07:00Mary Lee,

But I know in North Carolina there is a state bird (cardinal), a state sea shell (Scotch Bonnet) a State dog (Plot Hound), state amphibian (Eastern Painted Turtle), and I'm sure there are other state animals I've forgotten. So if all states go to the extent that North Carolina does, one could probably find enough rhymes. Interesting idea. I think the indigenous people would be more problematic. Remember we have 50 states and there are several indigenous tribes (Is that the right word?) of Eskimos in Alaska. What would you do there? You'd run into the same problem in Hawaii where there is a lot of blending. Isn't that what is so great about America--that we are a melting pot for all people?Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-54454287264856296452012-09-29T04:01:25.271-07:002012-09-29T04:01:25.271-07:00I can see this as a picture book!

I've always found rhyming couplets immensely satisfying.<br /><br />Joy, my apologies for not getting your post onto the PT blog sooner, and I'm glad people have found their way to you anyway. This morning (UK time) when I opened your email, something happened when I tried to open the link and my computer went down. It's taken all day to nurse it back to health and I've only just been able to reopen your email - and I've seen your "third (or fourth)" comment attempt just now too, which is the only one that;s come through, for some reason... So your post is now highlighted and I'm sorry for the delay...Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12143499864104883745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-6517975072872563432012-09-28T14:01:04.171-07:002012-09-28T14:01:04.171-07:00Fun idea for a poem, Joy!

Keiki is used all the time, as far as I know, even when not referring to babies.
