Hi everyone, Odd Sock here! We just wanted to let you know that we have all learnt lots about writing poems over the last week! We are well into our second week of Rhyming lessons from the "RhyPiBoMo" event now! We are busy everyday reading rhyming picture books, writing different types of poems, reviewing our old poems with fresh eyes, and trying to implement new ideas into our first attempt at a rhyming Picture Book manuscript (which we plan to hand in for "critiquing" in a couple of weeks!) We are finding all our new knowledge very exciting, but also a bit overwhelming and confusing at the moment. I thought I'd share with you a little rhyme that Melinda has just written, which pretty much sums up how we are all feeling right now! Confusion...(An Acatalectic Iambic Tetrameter!) - / - / - / - / The perfect rhyming picture book
Is getting my poor brain quite shook! Don't drop a beat or mix your feet, But do not endlessly repeat? Each day I hope to understand, Though, so far, things don't run as planned. Perhaps tomorrow, or the next, I'll master rhythmic sense from text!

Good poem M - I should imagine it is a bit confuzzling but keep at it, it will be worth it in the end, I'm sure. It was good to see Odd for a little while on Twitter today too.
