Teacher
In during recess
Diagramming sentences
Chalk dust on my hands
***
Dove
Dove in the chimney
Scratch, flap, fail to fly straight up
No fire tonight

I loved diagramming sentences…..I hear it is a lost art these days.

I know! It was one of my favorite things to do in about 5th grade. I think it still influences my writing. 🙂
