All the models you're providing are clearly making their mark, and yet Brynn's poem sounds--IS--original. YOU are the mentor text, Linda. : ) Enjoy your last year!Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902158336083356337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-48702857593253401552015-04-23T14:32:02.992-04:002015-04-23T14:32:02.992-04:00Appreciations to Linda for indroducing me to talen...Appreciations to Linda for indroducing me to talented poet Kay/Lillian/Lill & the pockety post shared from Jama's Alphabet Soup.<br /><br />Brynn is an equally talented word wrangler & I anticipate more poems (list or other forms) from her pen/pencil/keyboard. <br /><br />(Glancing down I see my kitty Ginger has his paw on - not in - my pocket as this very moment as he sausages across my lap. )<br /><br />Am excited for April 30 & poem in many pockets! Appreciations to Laura for hosting another day of <br />What Are You Wearing?

I like that a pocket can be like a dragon's cave!<br />The pictures of the "pocket poems" remind me of the year I sewed Plaid fabric into the shape of Pockets to Pin on kids when we were learning the letter P. Wouldn't it be fun to take scraps and make pockets with a poem printed on the outside to carry copies of their poems in for Apr.30?<br />Now I SOOO want to do that!Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-32779883302672478332015-04-16T16:56:50.152-04:002015-04-16T16:56:50.152-04:00Let me join in the praise for Brynn's lovely p...Let me join in the praise for Brynn's lovely poem. Each word well chosen like a polished gem. "Silver thought" struck me as well as "vermillion wren." <br /><br />Interesting hearing about the concerns your students may carry with them as they transition to high school, and enjoyed the photo of the library's pocket poems display. Thanks for this wonderful post, Linda.jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-24905680051357517402015-04-15T22:13:48.293-04:002015-04-15T22:13:48.293-04:00Thanks, Michelle and Diane, will pass this on to B...Thanks, Michelle and Diane, will pass this on to Brynn.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-64304125907585191662015-04-15T20:30:51.487-04:002015-04-15T20:30:51.487-04:00What a thought-full and thought-provoking post, Li...What a thought-full and thought-provoking post, Linda.
