this week i took on a new adventure
it has to do with poems
i am teaching grade 3 this wordy art
when i'd rather read them tomes.
each week we will gather and we will study
a plethora of rhymes
but i would rather teach them verbs or nouns
addition, even times!
when i was a kid, my father often read
us children poems in verse
he is the poet, he excels at it
so reading poems i dread the worse.
i've tried my hand at smithing
to get the rhythming right
but as this poor attempt will show
in poetry... i'm not so bright.
so this term will be a challenge
as I try and instill this art,
this love for poetic artistry
into each tender heart.
