Poetry Challenge #56-Kid’s Stuff
Feb 5th is World Read Aloud Day!
Created in 2011 by LitWorld, World Read Aloud Day is a day set aside to “Bring awareness to the importance of reading aloud and sharing stories as well as advocating for literacy as a human right.”
In short an excuse to read—and get kiddos reading—in case you need one! So to celebrate World Read Aloud Day, let’s keep the fun going by using books to kick start our challenge.
Poetry Challenge #56
Kid’s Stuff
Grab the nearest picture book, turn to the last page, the last words.
Use the last line of text as the first line of your poem.
And if you’d like, use the cover illustrations below as inspiration. Let the child in you run with it and PLAY! And READ!!!
. . . and it was still hot!
. . . goodnight noises everywhere.
. . . Yes, David
And because I love having the last word:
Guess what the last words in this finny book are?
Set the timer for 7 minutes.
Start writing!
Don’t think about it too much; just do it.

Cindy Faughnan and I began this 7-Minute Poetry Challenge at least 3020 days ago. We now take turns creating our own prompts to share with you. If you join us in the 7-Minute Poetry Challenge let us know by posting the title, a note, or if you want, the whole dang poem. Scroll down and click on the comments!
