Ice Cream Month

I love ice cream,
in a cone or a dish,
on a spoon or a stick.

In July I dream,
I want my wish,
to eat a different flavor
every day that I pick.

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?  I'm thinking it would be cool if I could eat a different flavor of ice cream every day during National Ice Cream Month.  Can you try writing your own ice cream poem today?

A children's poet finds things to love and write about.

LITTLE MINNOWS*

Little minnows swim
with a tail swish
going round and round
in their minnow dish.

Their tiny fins flap
to and fro
making those minnows
go, go, go.


    This is another poem based on movement.  Can you count the number of words in each line? Can you write your own poem that uses movement for it's inspiration?  Have fun writing.


* Heidi, this poem is for you.
