Round 9, Fifth Year, Letter B this week! I love ABC Wednesdays as it keeps my creative juices flowing. Thanks to Denise Nesbitt and the ABCW team for keeping things going this long!As I explained last week, my theme for this round is a form of poetry that combines a feeling or emotion with similes and metaphors. It's something I taught my 4th grade students years ago, something they picked up on very easily and with great creativity. Hope you enjoy this week's B word.
BREEZY
Breezy is bright yellow.
It looks like waves on the seas.
It sounds like lambs on the leas.
It smells like honey from bees.
It tastes like sweet herbal teas.
It feels like wind in the leaves.
Breezy is a huge hug and hello!
Breezy poetry indeed! Like the honeybee you are.

A great little poem speaking to all senses.
ReplyDeleteThe drawing that accompanies your poem is delightful. The breeze become tangible thanks to all the senses expressed in your playful poem. Amazing how something invisible can have such an impact. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite things, breezy weather! Breezes carry smells and sensations nothing else can beat.
ReplyDeleteYour poem and picture express wonderful breezes perfectly.

Your breeze poem is brilliant, Leslie. And it's such a beautiful B word. I admire your challenge to yourself... such a creative venture.
ReplyDeleteI loved your Breezy poem today. I too, chose to use poems as my theme this time around also. However, I am not a poet, I just enjoy messing with my Brain sometimes.
ReplyDeleteMany happy breezies! Lovely poem Leslie.

Love your hug and hello Breezy.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun excercise. I'm going to have to remember it for my granddaughter. She's quite the 11 year old writer.
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is so refreshing! We have had a beautiful breeze here today after humidity so thick I could hardly breathe -- at least by San Diego standards. Cute picture an really nice poem
ReplyDeleteBreezy is wonderful until it goes past 15 mph! Which we had a lot of this past spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece of writing! Loved it!
Sweet poem, - and the picture is delightful too, Leslie.
ReplyDeleteIt's so breezy here despite being so hot! love the poem and drawing.
ReplyDeleteYour poem gave me a flashback to Tom Bombadil, but that is not a bad thing :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment. It was much appreciated.
And I think Breezy is Blue - Brr, but I love your bright and breezy yellow version.
ReplyDeleteLovely breezy poetry! I especially like the "lambs from the leas and sweet herbal teas" :) Happy Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteWhen it is hot, you love the breeze.
ReplyDeleteBut when it is cold, breeze, please go away.
Breezy is such an evocative word, which your poem captures marvellously.

ReplyDeleteI like the poem. It's so easy to remember and I could probably teach this to my preschooler. : )
ReplyDeleteLovely leslie. You've really captured breezy!
ReplyDeleteOh, I could virtually taste the breeze on my tongue as I read this, what a fresh, vibrant read - bravo Leslie!
