What a great party! I love the title and the rhythm and the rhyme. I also enjoyed listening to you talk about the poem's background. Another great entry into your video series!
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of poem! Rhyming list poem and all the information there-in with such a lovely ring to it. I love that you have been to Darwin's home. Wow. I will have to check out what town it is. Thank you for these, Heidi. You know I am a fan!
