Hi guys!
It �s been a long time since I logged in. I can �t change much about that as my life has become a roller coaster heading for... who knows what?!
I really miss the �good old days � (I know it sounds like a cliche, but that�s the truth).
Well, I�m asking for your help. I hope somebody can help me!

My little princess (who is just turning 7) is going to be in a sort of a talent show. She has to recite a poem and accompany it with body language and , of course, outfit. The topic is ~ANIMALS~.

I have thought of finding a poem about butterflies  - I think she would look lovely with a pair of transparent glittering wings Wink! But I couldn �t find a poem to suit my taste, although I �ve been surfing the net for a couple of days. I need a poem that has enough �action � in order to allow her to make a lot of gestures, something that would highlight HER, rather than the poem itself.

I hope you could help me by suggesting some poems - I �m not exclusive about butterflies, though.

Hugs and Thanks in advance,

Hey Gabi, I know exactly what you mean... if you give me an hour, I�ll try to write you a sweet poem for your sweet girl. It�s the least I can do since you�ve been a great help for me in my daily work... Kisses, Nana

How about the Dolly Parton song �Love is like a Butterfly �? Lots of warm, gesture-rich vocabulary here.

what do you think of :
 
Butterflies fly high to the golden sun
Upper and upper in the silver and divine light
Tenderly kiss colored birds and clouds
Turning them into a bright blue sky
Elegantly dance among the smiling stars
Rapidly travel accross the flowered carpet
Fairily swirl with ladybirds in a joyful merry-go-round
Lightly touch the velvet of the grass
Intensily pick up moonbeams to make a magic bunch
Expecting impatiently friends to start
Suddenly flying away again to the sun
 
 
 
Send us one photo of your marvellous star, please !

Thank you ALL!
I cannot express my gratitude to all of you for your help! I loved your ideas, the acrostic poem is so sweet, Maryse ~Thanks ~ Nana �s poem (she made it up especially for my little one and PM-ed it to me) is my favourite! Thanks, Nana! The contest is on the 20th May - I �ll let you know how it went, maybe upload a video pn youtube.
Hugs,
gabitza

Great to see you back Gabitza.  Whatever your daughter decides to recite will be a success.  Give us some news how it went.

It�s always so incredible and rewarding to be able to help a great person like you Gabitza... I told you once and I�ll tell it again. Your worksheets ROCK all the way!!!! Here�s a thought, why don�t you make one of those gabitzalicious WSs of yours based on the poem? I think it would be another strike. A warm hug from Argentina to all!!! Nana
