Welcome to day 3 of National Poetry Month and the continuation of our Progressive Poem. Matt's line set the scene. Kat's line set the mood. I thought my line could begin a transition into some action. My found line comes courtesy of 'Summertime, Summertime' by The Jamies. The original line is No time to work- just time to play. Since we are writing for children this year, I changed work to school.
Endless summer; I can see for miles...
Fun, fun, fun - and the whole world smiles
No time for school- just time to play
Found Lines
L1 The Who, 'I Can See for Miles' / The Beach Boys, 'Endles Summer'
L2 The Beach Boys, 'Fun, Fun, Fun' / Dean Martin, 'When You're Smiling'
L3 The Jamies, 'Summertime, Summertime'

Oh, yes. Love how you've kept the party hopping!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the same thing - looks like our character is ready for summer vaca!
DeleteThanks Kat and Matt! I'm looking forward to seeing the adventures our character gets to experience.
DeleteNice! I'm so impressed with the continuation of the found lines. YAY! Esp. for fun. Thank you! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Irene! It's so fun to follow along and to participate. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens this summer :)
DeleteYay, playing! Thanks for your line!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ruth! I'm looking forward to see how the poem continues to unfold.
DeleteJust perfect for a child looking forward to summer, Kimberly!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at how these found lines are coming together to build a fun poem about summer. With only 6 weeks of school left, summer is hanging on the horizon.
ReplyDeleteYes it is, Margaret. I can't wait to see where summer will take our poem.
DeleteTime to play, I love how you're keeping this a poem for kids. Something tells me our world could be improved with a bit more play time for everyone. Way to keep up the fun, Kimberly.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ramona, and I agree. I do think we could all use a good dose of play and joy! :)
DeleteUh, oh. If we're going to have to mine song titles for our lines I'm gong to be in a world of hurt! You all are ROCKING this!
ReplyDeleteMy friend google was awesome.😉 "Lyrics with *word*".
DeleteYes, Mary Lee, google for the win!
DeleteI was just thinking what Mary Lee wrote--yikes, I am song illiterate. Love your school/work substitution.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Buffy. Google summer song searches were my friend for this one. I read te lyrics of several and finally found a line that I liked.
DeleteLove where you moved the poem to Kimberly! It'll be interesting to see where this poem travels by the time it lands by my door in two weeks…
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle. I'm looking forward to seeing how it grows and evolves- fun!
DeleteI don't know, folks--all this endless fun and smiling summer has got me a little anxious about what might be lurking around the corner. A poem has to have SOME tension, right? : ) I hope it's nothing too frightful and real-world...
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking at some point someone will throw a wrench into this kid's summer, but I guess we'll have to see where it goes. It's fun to watch it grow and evolve.
DeleteHa! "Get Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed would be pretty funny... :D
DeleteThese three lines could easily be from the same voice - Bravo and Brava! I'll watch with Heidi to see where this lighthearted start ends up leading... ;0) Great job, Kimberly!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robyn!
DeleteNice. I'm owning up to my song illiteracy, too. I can never remember who sings what or who played in what movie...you get my drift! I'm glad Kat gave us the Google hint!
ReplyDeleteBut I do love the first three lines. You've "found" perfection!
That worked out well, Kimberly. Summer is the most wonderful time to play.
