I can easily get completely absorbed doing one or the other, instead of balancing both.

Like all the others, I resonated with Poem #1, although on occasion, I hope that books would last a lifetime, sweetest things. :) Have a lovely weekend!GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-20235891562587445112012-05-04T23:18:39.605-05:002012-05-04T23:18:39.605-05:00Esther, Carmela, Ed, Tara and Linda...everyone pre...Esther, Carmela, Ed, Tara and Linda...everyone prefers #1 and Robyn says something before # 3...this is VERY helpful info!<br /><br />Ed...Wow!

And thanks for the activities & the book recommendation. I like poem #1 also. It seems lighter than the others in tone.

I love that exchange with Jane and the ...Hi April!<br /><br />I love that exchange with Jane and the kid about Christmas. Too funny.<br /><br />Your request for input is very timely. I was thinking ... do you have any interest in putting your three poem options to vote FOR REAL? I could host an impromptu poll on TKT and also ask maybe 3-4 questions to help figure out WHY people voted for the one that they did. And then we'll analyze the results.<br /><br />What do you say? Yours could be the first poems in kidlit history to be evaluated by and to benefit from the use of "poemetrics"! (See my own Poetry Friday post today for more on that.)<br /><br />-EdEd DeCariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008811161729435126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-49371138216342014142012-05-04T11:27:20.661-05:002012-05-04T11:27:20.661-05:00I miss you already, April! :(

(My computer is being slow about downloading the handouts, but I'll track back. Thanks for sharing.) Re. your poem-in-progress - love it! And I'd be in the camp of stopping somewhere before the third one. I like the swift punch (kick?) of the shorter versions myself.Robyn Hood Blackhttp://www.robynhoodblack.comnoreply@blogger.com
