Homework ending 01/08 mini pome

Post by Wendy Seddon » Thu Jul 21, 2016 2:17 pm

Just a little one today.

Hey Nana do you want to come and hang with me awhile?
Take the bikes and freewheel round and round the park and I’ll
be good and look both right and left before we cross the street
but this time will you wait for me? That really would be neat!

Hi Wendy

What a little gem! I love it and the mental picture instantly formed itself in my mind.

Another example of lovely crafting in a short verse. :D

Cheers

Yes, you have painted the picture with the minimum of words, and I love how those words roll off the tongue Wendy. Delightful.

I agree with Sue and Shelley - you have crafted a lovely little vignette here Wendy. In this instance less is certainly more. Well done.
