Slice of Life: Monday Poem 3/23

I am participating again this year in the Slice of Life challenge in which we write a slice every day in March. If you are interested in joining in, visit the Two Writing Teachers blog for more information.

Thought I would try a poem tonight. I don’t remember where I saw this idea, but I loved the playful form of two word lines. It was a challenge to stick to only two words for some lines. It is definitely something I will try again.

One thought on “Slice of Life: Monday Poem 3/23”

  1. Ah, yes, the repeating yourself when talking to students. I get it. It's the same way with our own children, isn't it?

    Hope today included a little less repeating!
