Click HERE to read this month's interview with Carole Boston Weatherford. She has challenged us to write an abecedarian poem.
Generally each line (or word) of an abecedarian poem begins with A and continues in alphabetical order until you reach Z. For this challenge, you may start and end with whichever letters you choose, as long as they are sequential.
Post your poem on our September 2017 padlet. While some contributions will be featured as daily ditties this month, all contributions will be included in a wrap-up celebration on Friday, September 29th. One lucky participant will win a copy of Schomburg: The Man Who Built a Library by Carole Boston Weatherford, illustrated by Eric Velasquez (Candlewick Press, 2017).
So beautifully clever. I love following the flowers through the day, and that ending, zinnia ZZZ. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteAfter all the rain, this enchanting, magical garden is just what we needed, Mindy! Love the playful formatting. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding some much-needed color and cheer to this rainy day in Middle Tennessee! I've been impressed by all of the abecedarian poems and hope to try one soon! (Also, I just love saying "abecedarian.")
ReplyDeleteRead this lovely garden tour guide and was transported to the midst of a glorious scene. Loved it Mindy.
