I love this format. Thanks for the posting.
...Greg,<br />I love this format. Thanks for the posting.<br /><br />FOR YOU<br /><br />If you were a May full moon,<br />And I were a star in the sky,<br />I'd twinkle and sparkle beside you,<br />So your beauty was magnified.<br /><br />If you were a deep black hole,<br />And I were the milky way,<br />I'd twirl and swirl towards you,<br />Until you'd invite me to stay.<br /><br />If you were a flaming comet,<br />And I were the deep blue sky,<br />I'd wrap my night around you,<br />And sing you a lullaby.<br /><br />If you were a Gregory K. poem,<br />And I were a word in a rhyme,<br />I'd squirm and worm to be noticed,<br />Until you used me all of the time.Stephen Aitkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091325584731896285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-57468796009802706592009-05-27T03:34:02.712-07:002009-05-27T03:34:02.712-07:00PERFECT new poetry form to try with my fourth grad...PERFECT new poetry form to try with my fourth graders!
