This would be fun to try with kids.<br /><br />I have a found poem today, part Emily Dickinson, part Bible verses, and part and old favorite hymn-- a little of this and a little of that.<br /><br />"Hopehymn"<br /> <br />“Hope” is the thing with feathers - <br /><br />Faith is the confidence <br />in what we hope for <br />and assurance <br />about what we do not see. <br /><br /><br />That perches in the soul – <br /><br />We have this hope as <br />an anchor for the soul, <br />firm and secure.<br /><br /><br />And sings the tune without the words –<br />It is well with my soul, <br />it is well with my soul <br />it is well,<br />it is well,<br />with my soul. <br /><br />And never stops -<br /><br />Let us hold unswervingly <br />to the hope we profess, <br />for He who promised is faithful.<br /><br />And sings the tune without the words –<br />It is well with my soul, <br />it is well with my soul <br />it is well,<br />it is well,<br />with my soul. <br /><br />And never stops - <br />at all.<br /><br />(c) Carol Wilcox, 2015 Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-49097880054659216182015-04-16T00:15:48.737-04:002015-04-16T00:15:48.737-04:00Mary Lee, my snapshot is a Gentle Stroll through a...Mary Lee, my snapshot is a Gentle Stroll through a garden of life. http://linkis.com/Be024Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-45227288408092777492015-04-15T16:24:12.045-04:002015-04-15T16:24:12.045-04:00Mary Lee, this is a great look at narrative poetry...Mary Lee, this is a great look at narrative poetry. It reminds me of a script where different vignettes happen at the same time-all stories lead to a central thought.
