  11. Love the stimulus that provoked these words,Bridget. 23 words indeed. They have been well served by your deft placement in response to the chosen image. Alliteration found a home in there too. Snazzy poem all round. Love this idea. I think it would make a great warm up activity to a poetry day I have coming up in May.
