Birthday Acrostic

Yes, it's Poetry Friday. (Visit Laura Purdie Salas for the Roundup.)
Yes, National Poetry Month.

But more importantly it's my grandson Joseph's birthday. 

You can see my read-aloud choices. Both such fun books to read. I'm always wishing my grands weren't half a country away, but my voice travels far.


My acrostic for Joseph at six.

Jiggle and wiggle, be jolly and jump
Over the fence and the ditch and the stump
Seeking a serious somewhere to sit
Even though everyone else does not fit.
Please take the path that will bring you back home.
Help me to see where your feet like to roam.

  4. You clearly have your priorities straight! I adore writing and reading rhymed acrostics--bring on the extra challenge! This is such a smooth, fun one! And I love "I'm always wishing my grands weren't half a country away, but my voice travels far."
