April Poem Challenge #1 - ack

Mary Bauer from the blog, The Artistry of Education and Poems of Silliness, challenges her class and other classes to write a rhyming couplet every day in April.  She talks about it on her blog here.  She even provides a word family calendar grid to use for inspiration each day.  Since we are on spring break it is not possible to challenge my class, but I also know that teachers should write every day. I am considering it my challenge.  :)

First, I opened the sticky notes on the computer and brainstormed ack words.  Then I played with the words to make a rhyming couplet.  I also looked up the definition of a rhyming couplet.

Here are some words:  quack, stack, rack, jack, whack, back, tack, hack, lack, knack, pack, sack

My first poem:  (not a really a rhyming couplet & ing added to the ends - poetic license?)

The grocery store clerk prefers

Can stacking

To 

Food packing.

My second poem: 

The pantry food lack

Caused a sad lunch pack.

I added my poem to the comment section of Mary's Poems of Silliness blog and asked if that was okay.
