Cliffhanger

What?


A cliff-hanger is when you leave a story at a suspenseful moment only to finish it later.  One of these days I will finish my story of Pasta Pause:  A Beginning.

Judy Blume

Remember Fudge?


I was just thinking of this the other day but have you ever read Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing?  I read this book when I was much younger and this book is so funny!  You just have to read it.  I consider this to be iconic elementary school reading material.  It turns out there is also a YouTube of it:  A trailer if you will.

Spring is in the air!

Spring has sprung!


He loves me.  
He loves me not.  
One petal left.
I pull...

He loves me!
Love blooms
like daisies 
in disarray.

People drive 
around distracted.  
Hoping to fall 
in love.  

Not texting 
as some people 
are prone to do.
Disastrous!
 
Driving 
into a tree trunk 
and saying
Good-bye!

@JoSH Poetic Popcorn Poetry

Drive safe!  Don't text and drive!  So you can fall in love some day!

Haiku!

Like a Little Child


Be like a child
Instead of a grown up, why?
It's more fun that way!

Haiku poems are short poems that have three lines.  The first line has five syllables, the second line has seven syllables, and the third line has five syllables.  Why not write a haiku today?
