You are so funny!!! At least when you teach...you make us laugh at the same time! (wish some of my old teachers had done that!!) Ps...I removed my "It" from my poem entry...but not sure what you meant by adding poetic devises at the bottom of my poem. I'm leaving for a few days, so If if didn't get it right before I go...that's okay...win some...lose some...but I'm learning as I go !!! :)
