I just started a retelling of Bluebeard, and the bride is 15. I would not wish that on your family, nor anyone!"

No kidding! I'm just coming up with a few nonsense poems, but the sonnet is true except kids flinging pencils and papers. They probably wanted to though because it is a really hard concept to learn, especially if a student is not advanced in English. But we had fun with the sonnets overall and they also had to illustrate them, giving the more artistic students more chance to shine. I myself am NOT artistic at all!!! lol

Sonnet

Ten syllables is not too hard to do
But it isn't the rhyme that I prefer
I hope that I can convince all of you
So that when I'm done you will all concur.

Shakespeare's sonnets must have taken lots of time
Figuring out schemes that made sense of love
Not only that but they also had rhyme
How did he do it? Found symbols like dove.

I used to teach high school freshmen so young
They thought it was cruel to think so hard
So many pencils and papers they flung
They knew my job was to just disregard

I rest my case before it is too late
And all of you do me begin to hate!

LIMERICK

Vacation time at Oceanside Beach
It's the perfect time for us to teach
My daughter's girls before we die
How important it is to marry a good guy
I'll pray to God for a fine husband each!

I tried to use it for our vacation but it's not true. Their mother and father do an excellent job! Of course, our values have been instilled in them as well. Abigail is 18 and Haileybrook is only 14 so we are NOT in a hurry! lol

Okay, I'll follow the first two Haikus and give it a try:

Our eye candy rules
While the other teams all drool
We will win so COOL!

We need someone to pick a good letter for that last word so we can figure it out!

binders
cinders
fingers
wingers
zingers
winkers
finders
bunkers
honkers
hunkers

???

The only REEN words I can think of are PREEN, TREEN, GREEN, but those are the only ones I can think of.

GREEN DANCERS ARE BETTER THAN AQUA

Damn it. No Q. I guess I am wrong."

Also, there can be no more A's or E's added since they've been placed. So...I have a few words but can't figure out the last word. We need a letter or two for that one!

Nope, I did not!"

LOL

Angie, did you mean to put a G in the second word?

Once letter until everyone has had a turn. If that..."

Okay, thanks.

I know we can only guess one letter, but is that one at a time or if we guess one letter we can guess no more until the next game?

Please give me R

YAY!!

It might be. I thought of jerk too, so still waiting to see what Angie says.

Being a hero doesn't mean you're invincible?

I think I know the whole thing too.

I'm fairly certain I know the 3rd word but still working on the last. Can't figure that one out yet.

I would like an O please.

I would like to start with S please.
