SOLC Day 18 - Phone Number Poem: Spring Break Staycation



Slice of Life Story Challenge --
Day 18 #SOL17 --
A Phone Number Poem:
Spring Break Staycation






*******************
In a Slice of Life post on Two Writing Teachers this morning, Rose Cappelli explained how to do Phone Number Poetry. I thought it sounded like fun, so I decided to give it a try. (The phone number which I've used for the poem was my childhood phone number. I have no idea if anyone has that phone number now.)

Here is my attempt at a Phone Number Poem --


Spring Break Staycation

6 --    Nine glorious days stretch before me!

1 --    I'll:

4 --    Walk at metro parks,

2 --    Relax lots,

6 --    Catch up with never-ending school work,

8 --    Read from my large stack of unread books,

3 --    Sleep in late,

4 --    Clean my messy house,

9 --    Play games and have fun with my beautiful grandchildren,

0 --    And enjoy having time to just b-r-e-a-t-h-e.


:-)

  5. I really enjoyed your phone-number poem. I am going to have to try it out. What is the rule for 0s? I love the last line of your poem. I like the way you used hyphens to space out the word breathe; it gave the word lots of room.

  8. I haven't seen this format before, but am very interested in poetry formats. I also was wondering if I could remember by childhood phone number. LOL

  10. This would be a fun format to try with students. I have a feeling it's more difficult than it looks. Love #8!
