Poetry Challenge #182-What Did One Blueberry Say to the Other Blueberry?

…Why don’t you popover later?

Today is National Blueberry Popover Day. Think of those blueberry pastries, steaming hot from the oven. Smell the sweet, blueberry steam. Bite into the flaky, buttery pastry. Is your mouth watering yet?

Poetry Challenge #182

What Did One Blueberry Say to the Other Blueberry?

Say it 3x fast: Blueberry Popover …Blueberry Popover …BLUEBERRY POPOVER …

Now think about the parts of the words: blue, berry, pop, over.

What happens if you change their order or which words go together? Write a poem where you do just that. (You can add other words as well.)

Play with the words.

Play with the rhythm of repeating those words in different orders.

Play with how they look on the page: will you make them BOLD? Big? Colorful?

Read your poem aloud and make it sound as good as blueberry popovers smell and taste. Mmmmmmmm!
