A poetry experiment for Friday School

OK, Poets, let's try an experiement. It's going to require a little different effort. This upcoming week, I want you to record the first words you hear that morning and the last words you speak that night. Start on Monday, end on Thursday night - so that should give us all an eight line poem. I hope this will be enlightening, and let us hear how poetic our lives really are. Have a fantastic weekend!

CAPTIVATING IDEA!

I'll give it a try, but I usually hear the same thing every morning and every night.

Good morning. How are you feeling today.

Good Night. I love you.

Poetic, maybe. Exciting, not really.

Maybe I'll cheat a little and document the second line I hear each morning and the next to the last line I hear each night. Would that be OK?

Marianne, you're a poet, dammit. Do what you've gotta do! :)

Yes, your right Gabrielle! I'll find poetry in my parents if I have to kill them to do it! OK, maybe I won't have to kill them, but I'll have to be a bit choosy about their words, especially Dads's.
