Birches In the Words

Birches In the Words

Walking along a path in the World Peace Forest
In the early Springtime
Enjoying the blooming Cherry trees

Noticing the birches in the woods
Were beginning to wake up

As I walked through the forest
Thinking Spring has come
Everything will be okay



Pick up a book, turn to page 18, and without looking, put your finger on a spot on the page. That’s your first word. Then do that again. Now you have two words to include in your poem. (Below your poem, please share the two words and the book you used to find those words!)
