Will I race outside laughing
with my mouth open
to catch rain drops
on my tongue
once more?
Yes, monsoons will come
and raindrops
will fall on your tongue
and laughter too.
But now it is summer.
Now you can stand in the shade
to feel a few degrees cooler
playing shadow games.
What fun!
It is three days now that I have been using Eileen Spinelli's NOW IT IS WINTER as my mentor text.
What games do you like to play in summertime? Can you write a poem about your favorite game? Have fun writing.
Children's poetry must be written with enthusiasm.
