Dear Writers,

  I know that many of you are wanting to complete the poetry piece for your portfolio.  Here is an idea!  Pick some letters of the alphabet and choose a garden word that starts with that letter.  Just like the book I read in Forum and the share we did in Morning Meeting.  Then, use some describing words to add detail to that word.  Remember, poetry can rhyme or not.  Don’t force your writing to rhyme, just be sure to make it descriptive and feel right for you!  I suggest typing in Word first so you have a copy for your portfolio, then paste it as a comment.  Here’s my example:

B for broccoli, growing in a bunch.  I never used to like it, but it’s now tasty to munch.

S is for seeds, so tiny and small.  A little love and care will bring them alive!

R for rain, it used to be a pain when it cancelled my baseball game.  Now I’ve learned to love it for the way it make it makes my garden green.

Y is for yummy.  The taste of homegrown veggies can’t be beat.  I look forward to harvesting when I get to eat!
