What fun, Elaine! I've been meaning to try one of these for myself. It's kind of a unique take on a found poem.
Bridget,
It's a lot like writing a cento or a found poem--and it was fun!
Love that! That would also be fun to do with my kindergartener.
Very fun!
Thanks for the reminder. I saw the post on Book Scoops about book spine poems. We must try this sometime soon.
this is fun,... nice post keep blogging...
