Mother's Day Poem by Catherine S.

Six Ways to Look at Motherhood

Each new baby
as a beautiful
blessing

Dirty diapers
are not fun to change

She wants a bottle.
He's running through the sprinklers with clothes on.
He just brought an earwig in the house.
Where is my sanity when I need it?

Her dark hair falls in curls on the pillow
as she finally goes to sleep.

We're having chicken pot pie for dinner.
Sigh.
Fine.  Make yourself a sandwich.

Five little people
sit on either side of me.
I croon the story softly,
"Guess how much I love you?
To the moon and back."

Catherine S.

Self-Starter:  Getting caught up --

• Plays
• Card for Mother  (Have poem approved before putting it on the card.)
• Have you made a copy of your Inspired By poem to put up on the board?  Check it off with Ms. Dorsey before you put it up.

2.  Punctuation Mini-Lesson -- See below.

3.  Concrete Poetry

Facts about the History of Punctuation from Nancie Atwell's Lessons That Change Writers
 The period:  comes from the ancient Greek word peri which means "round." Writers inserted a small circle at the end of each sentence to show that they'd gone all around a subject, that the idea they expressed was now complete and well-rounded."

 The comma:  comes from the Greek word komma, which means "a little knife" or "to cut off."  Writers inserted the little curved blade of a knife -- that is, a comma -- whenever they wanted to show a clause or phrase: a group of words cut from the body of a sentence.

Self-Starter:  Write a "Down the Rabbit Hole" story or poem or description.
Books and stories put someone "down a rabbit hole" -- stories with portals:
Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass
Gregor the Overlander
Beyonders
Narnia
Harry Potter   9 3/4, portkeys
(Wizard of Oz)
Leven Thumps
Seeing Red




Punctuation history -- We've already looked at quotation marks.  History of exclamation mark and question mark.

A little bit of The Hormone Jungle -- first poem


 Mother's Day Cards with Poems:  Ode, Tritina, or Six-Ways Poem.
Do not make your card until your poem is approved.

If you haven't yet, you still need to copy an "Inspired By" poem to go on the bulletin board. 

How about your play?  Do you have it?
