Free Verbs! Pick Five.

This past weekend at the Adult Strings Weekend, I joined a couple of other players for a chamber music session -- in the Kindermusik room.

Pretty perfect for a children's book author and poet, don't you think?

Not only were the walls full of all sorts of instruments, but there was this poster on the wall listing a symphony of verbs. Can't you just see an ensemble of little Kinders moving their bodies in these ways -- to music?!

And now for a challenge:

PICK FIVE! Write a poem that includes five of the verbs on the list.

Here's mine:
slash   slither   sweep   swoop    spin

<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } </style> <br />--> <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>Under a Sturgeon Moon</b>*</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">starlight slashes lake</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">canoe slithers </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">into silver ripples</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">paddles sweep</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">                      swoop</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">wind spins a hymn</div><br /><br /><i>* in case you missed the Sturgeon Moon, it happened this past Sunday night. :)</i>
