Welcome to our blog! This is the first time we’ve ever hosted Poetry Friday here at Two Writing Teachers. We’re thrilled to have you join us for Poetry Friday.
Please link your submissions with Mr. Linky.
Ruth will do the round-up this evening. We hope you’ll check back here tonight to see what everyone’s posted. Until then, HAPPY POETRY FRIDAY!
MY (STACEY) POETRY FRIDAY SUBMISSION:
George Ellis wrote a poem about the months of the year. Since we’re well-into “breezy,” I thought this might be a fun poem to post today. Enjoy!
Snowy, Flowy, Blowy,
Showery, Flowery, Bowery,
Hoppy, Croppy, Droppy,
Breezy, Sneezy, Freezy.
–George Ellis
And mine (Ruth) is over on Inspiring Readers & Writers
Can you tell me who’s hosting this week? I’m having a hard time finding the blog :). Thank you!!
