rectangles on top of rectangles
triangles on top of triangles
triangles peeking out from the pile
freshly cut shapes
white faces
brown ends
bumpy, rough edges
stacked
layers of shapes

The playfulness blends with some bigger ideas in this poem, Dawn. Love the white faces and brown ends.

What a great mentor for visualization. And perspective. We can see so many things in a long view or a second glance.

Maybe someday you can publish your sketches and these poems. Or they can adorn the pages of your hallway book. They are treasures. ❤️

Melanie’s word “playfulness” is perfect for this poem! I love the sketch! I am thinking about some of my students who would love to try this during our poetry unit.

I love seeing your sketches and how you stretch them with your writing. I’ll have to share some with my students to inspire them in their April challenge.

Breaking down an image into it’s essence-visually and verbally. These invite us to look closely and think about what we are seeing in new ways. What a cool slice! Loved following your slices this month!

Love the simplicity of this. I was just telling my students one the the best things about poetry is you can write about anything and make it beautiful! Nice!
