I expected peaceful images with fluffy clouds, but the poet took me on a different journey.

Love how Poetry Friday ripples across the generations.

I asked the students to respond to your question:<br />Erin says, "I think a lazy poem is a poem that doesn't want to do anything. It doesn't give pictures in your mind. It doesn't inspire the reader. It doesn't give the reader something to talk about."<br />Emily says, "A lazy acrostic is when you just put one word. I like to describe and use metaphors. I feel like I'm special to be here on your blog."<br />Thanks, Emily, for validating my students and me. We feel like real poets today!Margaret Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434866104385187658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-48872456376966544612014-10-17T17:17:45.065-04:002014-10-17T17:17:45.065-04:00Such a delightful kitten poem, Amy.
