This looks fun. “Study the genre of poetry by taking part in step-by-step workshops with favorite authors,” Jack Prelutsky, Karla Kuskin, and Jean Marzollo. It’s a teacher website sponsored by Scholastic.
Jack Prelutsky (b. 1940) celebrates his 65th birthday today. He writes poetry like this:
Cuckoo
The cuckoo in our cuckoo clock
was wedded to an octopus,
she laid a single wooden egg,
and hatched a cuckoocloctopus.
I belong to a writer’s group and will share this with them. I also have a dad who builds, collects and repairs clocks. He owns several cuckoo clocks that work all the time. I will be sharing the cuckoo poem with him. Thanks, Sherry.
