B~ Baby's Breath



Baby's breath sways slow --
Slender fingers dance
on small spring green hips.

  7. How lovely, both A and Z...what a great theme! My fifth graders are working on poetry now and I so enjoy teaching Haiku's and limericks to them!
    Great job!

    1. Thanks Tracy. Limericks are one of my favorite forms, especially for writing children's stories; they eat up the rhymes. Oh how fun it must be to teach them at that age! Thank you for visiting here.

    1. Thank you Susan. They can be a bit weedy if you don't keep them trimmed when growing, but they add such a lacy flair to a bouquet.
