My daughter had a homework assignment to write a poem using a recipe format, but the poem couldn’t be about food. We use Daily Spark Poetry for quick ideas. This gives her a creative outlet within bounds to explore the language as well as poetry. Sometimes she has to rewrite and work out the poem. However this one was pretty near perfect. This was what she came up with (she is very – VERY social):

The Happy Cake

You’ll love this favorite!!

You’ll need:

All of you; 1 dozen friends
1/2 cup of a mess

2/3 cup of fun

the moon; the sun

And all of the stars

First stir in you

And your friends

Sift the mess

And the fun

Stir in the moon

And the sun

Bake for 45 minutes

Set out for five seconds

Sprinkle on the stars
