Thank you so much for your note! W...Dear Cameron,<br /><br />Thank you so much for your note! We have a lot of snow here in Holland too. My daughter is sleeping with her jammies inside out because she heard that will make it snow lots and lots. <br /><br />Your idea to write a snow day poem is a great one, and I think I will do that next week - once nonfiction week is over. Snow days are so exciting, and I thank you for the idea.<br /><br />If you click on the purple words in today's post, you can read the articles I read about why cats purr. It surprised me that they purr when frightened; I thought they only purred when content.<br /><br />I got the idea to write a poem every day for a year last April. That's National Poetry Month, and lots of poets write and post a poem every day of the month. I did too, and it was such fun that I decide to go on for a year. It has been so good for me to stretch my writing muscles every day. <br /><br />Thank you, too, for your compliment on "nest." I wrote the words in a plain line first and then played around to shape them like a nest. I love birds and their pretty nests too.<br /><br />Well, good luck having a snow day tomorrow. We are crossing our fingers for one here too... If it happens, maybe you will write a poem. And if you do that, I hope you will send it to me!<br /><br />Your Friend,<br />Amy<br /><br />----------------------<br />Linda, Aren't those kitty purr reasons interesting? I was fascinated! I agree completely with what you said about Cameron's questions too. How very lucky I am tonight bundled in snow and good friends from afar. I am wondering if you are planning to post a poem this Poetry Friday?? I miss them.

I learned some things about purring.<br />Thank you for a lovely, heart-felt poem, Amy!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786457482835741494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-16449258186056388982010-12-01T18:57:43.698-05:002010-12-01T18:57:43.698-05:00Dear Amy Vanderwater,
My name is Cameron and I...Dear Amy Vanderwater,<br /><br />My name is Cameron and I'm a second grader in Mrs. Evancho's class. I look at your poems every day at morning meeting.<br />How did you know so many reasons that cats purr? <br />I loved your nest poem. It was cool how you shaped it like a nest.<br /> What made you think of writing poems for a year? Maybe you could write a poem about a snow day for school. I'm hoping we will have one tomorrow - our house has a lot of snow around it.<br /><br />Your friend,<br />Cameron LaRosaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
