I thought I would continue the dance theme of this week and share a dance poem. If you missed my Dancing to 12 songs in 12 Locations, see it here!I do love to dance, and so do kids. I remembered writing a dance poem a few years back, so I reached into my archives (my used spiral notebooks) until I found this one. (And yes, we really do have a family dance party occasionally!).
On a rainy day
With nothing to do,
My mom and dad-
They tried something new.
Dad turned on some tunes.
Turned it up a mile.
Mom wiggled her hips
With an impish smile.
She grabbed my hand
And gave me a twirl.
Then Dad swung around
Our baby girl.
We crumped, we bumped.
We danced the slide.
We popped and locked,
Swayed side to side.
It’s such a blast!
We dance every week.
But I close the curtains,
So my friends can’t peek!

Today is the first day of National Picture Book Writing Week (NaPiBoWriWee)! I am participating even with the already busy week ahead of me.
The basic rules? Write 7 complete and separate picture books in one week. Each picture book must have a clear beginning, middle, and end. There is no required minimum word count because picture book lengths can vary from 50 words to 2000 words, depending on the genre. Do you want to do this with me? Register now with http://paulayoo.com/blog. Post your progress on your site each day.
I have nine ideas so will just start writing (revisions will come later)! Wish me luck!
