Book-A-Day 49

Lemonade and Other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word by Bob Raczka is a poetry book where each poem is created from one word.  For example, vacation action in a van.  Using only the letters in vacation, the other words were created.  This book is fascinating as one page shows a poem with odd spaces as it lines up similar letters to prove only the letters of the poem's title were used.  The next page shows the poem's letters normally spaced.  After reading this book, I challenge you and your family to create your own poems from a single word.  Try it and see what you write.  #BookADay 49
