A poem about a worm that makes the letter w, isn't that cool?Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-33289821389608268672013-08-05T11:12:46.815-07:002013-08-05T11:12:46.815-07:00Great response, Joy.

Most things naturally fall down thanks to gravity. So, what are some things that go up? I often explore opposites--it is the way a lot of words are defined, by their opposite. I'm still brainstorming about things that move diagonally. <br />I often try to look at objects in a different or new light. What can I say about an object that hasn't already been said before?<br />Thank you for asking.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-55241538616246080242013-08-04T10:04:31.872-07:002013-08-04T10:04:31.872-07:00Love it, Joy.
