Linda says, "I love writing Skinny poems because they can deliver images and feelings with a few words. If you want to share about something you love whether it’s food or something in nature or a special person, a Skinny will let you 'show' that love in a burst of a picture, especially meaningful from you!"***Brrr! Are you ready to write about frozen water, poets? Draft a Skinny about frozen water by the end of the day tomorrow, Sunday, April 5, 2020. Alternate prompts -- write a Skinny on any water-related topic.If you’re doing the #WaterPoemProject with a group, be sure to share or post your rough draft, read other people’s poems, and cheer for their efforts. Or leave your poem here, in the comments.
