Ruth at There is no such thing as a God-forsaken town has our Poetry Friday Round-Up today.
This month the Poetry Sisters, Tricia @ The Miss Rumphius Effect Tanita @ {fiction, instead of lies} Sara @ Read Write Believe Laura @ Laura Purdie Salas Liz @ Liz Garton Scanlon Kelly @ Kelly Ramsdell Andi @ A Wrung Sponge came up with a challenge to write recipe poems. On Thanksgiving Day, Silver Birch Press featured, A Day's Journey, Thanksgiving 1960. This poem is a revision of one I have worked on for many years. Plus, they included an art piece that goes with the poem. Last Friday, I tried recipe poems with the fifth grade class I subbed in on November 18, 2022. ![]()
To celebrate and share the release of What Is A Friend? by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong, I decided that we would write "How To Have a Friend" poems, recipe poems when I visited.
when I go into a class, I really like to discuss what makes a good poem. We read some for the book. then I shared this poem, a draft from my WIP: Dara: How To Have a Friend sprinkle laughter a little cinnamon and chili knead in mischief, mix in memories salmon ceremony, eat mealworms on a dare, snowball fights,and freckles sift in leaves from the tree you climbed melt Europa caught just yesterday hold on - let go. ![]()
Then I shared a poem I wrote as a recipe poem to model
and we discussed the ingredients of having a friend and what we might mix in. How to Have a Friend by Ms Mac Add: Laughter Kindness Always there for me Mix in: Walking home from school Singing Led Zeppelin at the top of our lungs Swimming pool days Sift in: Wish I could see her more often sing Led Zeppelin. Friends for how long? Melt in: accidentally walking into her coat closet Staying out too late Foothills of Simi Valley Blend it all together: Ronky Girl, Forever Friend We also did a Picasso Face art lesson to go with the friend poems. I was able to get the poems onto Padlet but am working on the art. Below, please enjoy Mrs. Fisher's Fifth Grade poets. 2023 New Year Poetry Postcard Sign Ups

Oh, those lucky kids! You know, I have a group that meets after school once a month. Some of these middle schoolers really need reminders on how to make a friend. This is such a great nudge for me to think of something to do with them. Thanks! 11/25/2022 06:53:46 pm
I LOVE how you take challenges and share them when you sub. That's amazing. It was fun to read these and see some of the specifics--playing Fall Guys like a god, laughing until we're red as tomatoes, repeating the word hamburger. I especially love the ones like the hamburger that you know are inside jokes/references that the poet and the friend will both totally get, and everyone else knows they're just an inside joke they *can't* really get. Yay! 11/26/2022 04:30:40 am
Jone, you sure have a great time when you sub, bringing all your poetry experiences together for the kids--and I know they have a great time too! Isn't it interesting how really, all good friendships share some essential ingredients? : ) 11/30/2022 06:47:23 pm
I love your poem that Silver Birch Press featured on Thanksgiving Jone, and the art with it too! Thanks also for sharing your recipe poems and the students, what an inspiration you are for them! Comments are closed.
