Chameleon is so much fun, moves so well, and sounds so great. I have just begun a blog written expressly for children. Perhaps you would consider visiting sometime:<BR/>http://writtenforchildren.blogspot.com<BR/>Any advice would be most welcome.tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14651702526007175517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-89219991206591910332008-12-28T08:52:00.000-05:002008-12-28T08:52:00.000-05:00Excellent.

Then there came a point at which I decided this was the best I could do--at least for the time being anyway.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-40742707154416070782008-12-26T21:54:00.000-05:002008-12-26T21:54:00.000-05:00That is fantastic, Elaine!

I'm going to try it, but ouch I think it looks very very difficult - adding the letter restrictions to the meter and rhyme restrictions AND - here's the worst part - making sure it makes sense. I can feel the pain already. But I will give it a shot for the next few years. Yours is beautifully done!Julie https://www.blogger.com/profile/12811523890920763782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-74761020443593469632008-12-26T13:31:00.000-05:002008-12-26T13:31:00.000-05:00Jone,I wish I could be a lot of things--Catherine ...Jone,<BR/><BR/>I wish I could be a lot of things--Catherine Zeta Jones, Kim Basinger, an astrophysicist, a geologist--definitely a writer who has published a book of children's poems that has garnered rave reviews.
