Clouds float in the sky
Drifting in the silent breeze
White cotton candy

What imaginations and creative use of words! The poems shared in class were *wonderful*!!

Since I have these two poets here with me, and have asked their permission, I shall post a couple of their poems shared in class.

LIMERICK

My history book is a bore
reading it has become quite a chore
it once was great fun,
but that fun is done.
I shall now throw my book on the floor!
by S.S.

There once was a young girl named Nory
who said, "All my poems sound poorly.
I'm quite in a rut-
my question is what
shall I do so my poems aren't corny!"
by L.S.
