Welcome to a stream of ideas as I venture on a journey to develop young writers. This blog will be influenced by my current reading list, conferences, colleagues, your comments and of course the students I work with each day. The connection between all forms of early literacy will also frequent the blog and their importance in the writing process for young learners.

What's That?
On this colorful drippy day go visit Linda at Teacherdance for an extraordinary poetry experience.
trees dripping
a storm of leaves
tsunamis of color
a confusing blur
I double look
as remainders approach
like little toads
across my path.
I love the trees dripping a storm of leaves - while we don't experience all four seasons here in Singapore - we do see a lot of trees dripping such a storm - all the time. :)
It's a different look from our own autumn, until the snow, with soggy leaves sticking to one another, darkened by the wet. I love too the 'remainders', what an image and thought, Betsy! Thank you.
Hi, Betsy!
ReplyDeleteI love the verb "double look" - and the "remainders." Wonderful images! Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteWe had those storms of leaves this week! The wind brought almost all the color down.
