I can see a kid whose afraid of the dark reading it and thinking, maybe there is something good about the dark. And for those of us in a rut, it's a challenge to get out of it; try something new, or look at things from a new angle. And of course, it's a prod to get out and look at the stars. <br /><br />This is the second trimeric I've read this week (other one at Teacherdance Linda). Beautiful form, perfect for reflection! I am itching to try one. <br /><br /><a href="http://vnesdolypoems.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Violet N.</a>Violet N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16586574800230604652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-44642600709450918012012-09-15T10:31:37.548-04:002012-09-15T10:31:37.548-04:00The rhyme in the last line works so well, Mary Lee...The rhyme in the last line works so well, Mary Lee.

Lots to talk about - we're reading Wonder aloud and then small groups are reading books with characters who are different in some way (Rules, Out of My Mind, Anything But Typical, Joey Pigza, etc.) to teach empathy - we can read this poem as a metaphor!
