In class we are talking about fancy words…big boy words…words that we want to use as our tools for writing. The gathering and list making has begun. Today we are writing and using some of our words in our writing. Here is my attempt. I am going to write a poem…

Carbonated puddles
overflowing with sugary concoctions
create a sticky sea

My loafers
smoosh the dropped and forgotten
snicker-doodles

Inky
splotchy
messes as far as the
eye can see

are all that’s left 
when the party is over.
