IT IS LATE



It is late
and I can't sleep
a nightmare
has me falling
into the
              Deep,
                       DEEP,
                               D
                                    E
                                        E
                                            P.


      Do you ever have nightmares?  Are there some nights when you can't sleep?  What do you do?  Your challenge for today is to write a poem about a dream.  Some of the best poets have written about their dreams.  Have fun writing and using your imagination.

HAIKU

wolf moon shines on water
howling wind blustery blows
deep lasting hunger


    I was getting tired of writing abecedarians, so I thought I'd take a break with a haiku.  The moon was full and round last night. It's reflection on the water was a long golden ribbon.  What would the illustration look like to go with this poem?  Can you write your own haiku today?  Keep warm.  You can try writing your own haiku too.
