SEPTERCET OF A SEPTERCET
TEACHER:
Three lines, Seven syllables,
Is it hard? No, it isn't,
Go on try a septercet.
STUDENT:
Fine, I'll do it! how 'bout this?
Moon, why are you awake now?
What time do you go to sleep?
TEACHER:
I saw the moon yesterday,
Bright in early morning sky,
Give a septercet a try!

ReplyDeleteLynzee :) I love that you wrote about the moon just recently there was a harvest moon and in the fall the moon always looks bigger and some times orang thank you for joining in our challenge this month
