I'll be attempting to post each day a new or reworked poem--for young readers--that addresses mathematical ideas, concepts, experiences and expressions.

Ha, love this! Witty and thoughtful as well...something I can completely see my young self identifying with.
ReplyDeleteI love this poem and your plans for the month. I'm not brave enough to post my own poems every day (heck, it's hard enough to do once a month), so it's much easier for me to choose the poems of others to share.
ReplyDeleteOh, what fun! Can't wait to see where else this notion leads!

I'm glad you're not lonely with all those tails to keep you company...thanks for stopping by to poetize with me, Joela!
DeleteFun! I'm glad someone is comfortable with math poems--not my strong suit since these days I barely remember my times tables. Don't get old Heidi, it makes you feel like a second-grader all over again.
ReplyDeleteNotional Poetry Math...HAHAHA! This is going to add up to a month of multiple punny-nesses!
