sheila renfro: April 2015
http://sheilarenfro.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
READ WRITE. REVISE. THEN GO SAILING. Sunday, April 26, 2015. Dear Wandering Wildebeest by Irene Latham and illustrated by Anna Wadham. I love the poems and the illustrations in this book. As a bonus, I learned a lot about the animals of Africa. I've seen some of these animals at the zoo, but never really knew about there habitat. Irene and Anna makes sure you know the livelihood of the native African animals is the waterhole. Did you know that the Wildebeest has the largest mammal migration in the world?

Poetry Friday: Elephant
http://sallymurphy.com.au/2015/08/poetry-friday-elephant
Sally Murphy, Australian author. August 14, 2015. I woke up this morning with the words of one of my poems going through my head. Why this one? I don’t know. Maybe I was dreaming about elephants, or maybe an elephant was dreaming about me. Who knows? Anyway, since it’s Poetry Friday, I thought I’d share the opening of the poem:. Elephant is stomping;. He is stomping and he’s clomping. He is stomping, clomping, bomping. And he’s scaring the poor. Lion he is roaring. He is roaring and he’s pawing. Thanks M...

http://bluewindow.weebly.com/home/poetry-friday-the-great-egret
Poetry Friday - The Great Egret. We've recently downsized from our home on the. To a more reasonable home about 15 minutes inland in a bayou region; we're one house away from conservation land surrounding the bayou system. We've traded one ecosystem for another. I feel truly blessed to have lived in such a setting for nine years, but look forward to adventures in our new bayou ecosystem as well. This poem is a sort of haiku without a strict syllable count. Great Egret tamest of the herons. I love to catc...
