Writing Poetry

     I (Karen) am currently teaching a middle school creative writing class for one hour a week.  I brought in paint chip cards from the local hardware store and gave the kids a fun activity to write poems on them. I found the activity idea on Pinterest. Naturally, I had to try it out myself first.  This is what mine looks like--

Orange is

the color

of my cat.

A tabby.

Some say

he is a ginger.

I say he is fun!

His little orange

and white striped paws...

swat at a toy bird.

Orange is a

cute and fun color.

And as an added bonus, here is my youngest son's artwork of Nibblerz (we actually call him Nibby now):
