Students - One of my favorite things to do (as some of you know) is to trace back where a poem came from. Today's verse came from a few places:
1. I was rereading my notebook in the quiet of the house this morning - the only one awake - and I came across this entry from last month.
2. Yesterday, Henry showed us all how adorable Sage and Cali looked snuggling on the rug, and I took the photograph atop today's post.
3. I received an e-mail from a friend today who referred to his local weather as "scorching."
There you have it:
Notebook Entry + Photograph + E-mail = Silly Poem

Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteWe liked the equation that goes along with this poem. We think that will help us to keep our eyes open for poem ideas. Did you really make a dog out of the fur you collected?

Awww! What a sweet picture and what a sweet story!
ReplyDeleteI brushed those bags of hair out of a couple of English Shepherds. Too bad I never made a new dog with it!
Silly or not, your poem brings me memories of an English sheepdog we had long ago. I saved his clippings for a weaver, who made no dogs, but rugs! What fun your poem is, & from unlikely places. Thanks, Amy.
