I had a thought today.
I was making some worksheets for my sub(it was one of the last things on my "to do before baby" list and it's just now getting done. ) and I had an idea for all us bloggers. Below is an assignment that I am giving to my students. I thought those of us that wanted to could do it too. You don't have to, of course. But I thought it might be cool. So, if you're interested, copy and paste the form into the Edit HTML version of your new post window and complete the poem. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO RHYME.

And let's all post them on Saturday sometime so that we see them all about the same time and, therefore, aren't influenced by other's ideas when we write our own. And, as I tell my students, when you write, there is no wrong idea. Just go with it. From junk emerges greatness. And, unlike I tell my students, THIS IS NOT FOR A GRADE.

And I will not be at all offended if no one does this. It was just a thought.

I am…
