STORM

The winds blew,
the lightning flashed,
the rains came down
and the thunder crashed.
Oh what a lovely storm.

    Our monsoon rains are coming and it is so lovely to have a break from the heat.  Can you write a poem today about some aspect of the weather?  Perhaps you can use the weather for a metaphor for your relationship with some one you know.  Have fun writing.

    The Poetry Friday roundup is hosted this week by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong over at http://poetryforchildren.blogspot.com/    Thanks to the greatest editors ever.  I appreciate your hard work in bringing poetry to children and teachers.
