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.
:-)

This looks fun. I will have to look up how to do this and try it with my students.
ReplyDeleteSound like a great "staycation"! Enjoy. This poem is a fun way to share your ideas.
ReplyDeleteYou are the second slicer I saw use this format. I think I will have to try it out. I like your stay-cation plane!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good format! I like how you tied it in with your plans for spring break. I hope you are able to do all of those things!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI love your format...I've never seen that one before! It sounds like a great staycation- I'm looking forward to mine as well.
ReplyDeleteI forgot all about this format- I used it once before. I love your staycation plans.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool format! It took me a moment to see what you were doing. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a fun format to try with students. I have a feeling it's more difficult than it looks. Love #8!
