Poetry by Ben: Marshmallow

On a recent library trip we discovered the book Lemonade and other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word by Bob Raczka. As indicated by the title all the poems are formed from a single word, or more specifically, from any word that can be found in a single word.

Here's an example of the title poem from the book:

Lemonade by Bob Raczka

After reading through the poems, we had to create our own. At least, Ben and I did. It wasn't really Julia's thing. Ben wanted to use the word marshmallow so we brainstormed all the words we could see in marshmallow and then he put together his poem. It's awesome!
