Spicy tamale
with masa wrapped in corn husks
a little present
One of the fun things about living in Tucson is the availability of good tamales. Once they are wrapped up, they are like a present the eater gets to unwrap. Many families in our area get together at Christmas to make tamales--lots of them. Enough to give as presents and some to freeze. Do you like to cook? Can you write a poem about cooking today? Have fun.

Happy Cinco de Mayo
On Cinco de Mayo
mi familia has a fiesta.
We sing and dance
and eat lots of food.
Tia Margarita brings tamales,
Tia Anna brings the enchiladas.
Mama and I and my sisters
make the tacos and burritos.
My papa plays his guitar.
Tio brings a piñata.
All the children
take turns swinging the bat
to hit the piñata
and to grab the dulces
that come flying out.
I hope your Cinco de Mayo
is a sweet as ours.
Today's poem is a free verse poem. I've used several Spanish words in the poem. Can you find them? Your challenge for today is to write a poem using a word from another language. Have fun writing.
