X marks the spot - teeny fingers tap colors. Youngster’s attentive to the rainbow bars. Language of a rambunctious or prissy toddler. Oscar music songbook exalts experience. Potent stick and head, of a kinetic hammer, Hones in on the eight tones, piercing the eardrum Of the voracious student sounding the glockenspiel. Newness of counting, colors, pounding, music; Eyes, ears, and fine motor skills titillated. 4/28/2023 Contest: Writing Challenge - Words with 'X' Sponsor: Constance La France

Kim, Once again you've taken on a poetry challenge and come up with a skillfully composed poem. I'll bet you could create a good X Pleiades, too. Good luck in the contest. Carol Louise

Neat how you started with the "X", Kim, and then continued with the xylophone. Used one of them with my grandkids and kids too (I don't really remember) but you can bet I'll get one for my first expected great grandchild in November.

Hi Kim, I enjoyed reading your take on the contest theme. I would have never thought of the colors on the Xylophone as a tool for the little ones to learn colors. Maybe music and notes. Are you a teacher? Nevertheless, this is a good write. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great weekend:-) Alexis
