I'm taking the advice from the poet who has given so much to help us all, including students and teachers, write poetry. I'll be moving from A to Z, obviously needing to combine a few to make it all come out to 30. FYI—Sometimes, Paul Janeczko offers a prompt to write a poem that begins with the specific alphabet letter instead of a poem type. It will be fun to be open to writing in all kinds of ways!

Today's prompt - Kite
I wander around a lake
as the wind blows clouds
across the sky.
Geese fly in to shelter;
the duck pair I see often
huddle near the bank.
The other side holds
a playground – empty now,
and a runner leans into the wind.
An older man wearing a hoodie
stands alone in the field
flying a kite.
I wonder if he’s that young boy
still inside,
flying kites, then, too?

What a perfect story this poem tells! There MUST be a little boy inside that old man...
