I used “Recipe for Writing a Spring Poem,” by Georgia Heard from Falling Down the Page as a mentor poem.
One teaspoon gentle breezes,
One tablespoon golden sunshine,
A pinch of Old North Wind.
One teaspoon chirping robins,
One tablespoon crocus blooming,
One dash of snowy flurries.
One teaspoon cloudless skies,
One tablespoon longer days,
One splash of April showers.
One cup childhood laughter,
One pint smiling faces,
One gallon of May flowers.
Oh, yes, a recipe for Spring!

This is a great recipe for spring! I love Falling Down the Page, which I discovered when I was part of my state’s branch of the National Writing Project. I’ll have to dig it out and dust it off for some slicing inspiration.

There are so many wonderful list poems in that book. Georgia Heard’s poem was one that I thought I could use for inspiration. Good luck finding your book-it is so little that I actually lost my first copy so I had to purchase a second one online.
