Welcome back to A GREAT Nephew & A GREAT Aunt where I team up with my GREAT nephew, Landon, who is a fifth grader. Every other week, we bring our GREAT readers a-picture-with-a-poem sort of thing. Today is Episode 3. If you missed previous episodes, you can view them by clicking below.
Episode 1: An Adventuresome Moose
Episode 2: Robot Repair
For today’s episode, I have an acrostic poem that Landon has cleverly illustrated.
Episode 3-OUCH!
The Poem
The Picture
Landon has a great sense of humor. For an added chuckle, click on the picture to enlarge and see what is written below “OUCH” 🙂
Thanks to all of you who joined us for Episode 3 of A GREAT Nephew & A GREAT Aunt. See you back for Episode 4 in two weeks 🙂
Today’s Poetry Friday host is the delightful Jama Rattigan at Jama’s Aphabet Soup.
