Progressive Poem Day 6

 HelLO!

I'm glad you made it. Molly had to step out of the classroom for a moment and I'm minding the store until she gets back. How's that for some seriously and badly mixed metaphors?

Here's what we have so far...some rather back and forth between going or not going...I'm adding my vote for going on the adventure! Always choose adventure. 




My Line for 4/6 comes from Mr. Willy Wonka himself straight out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roal Dahl. 

"Come with me, and you'll be in a land of pure imagination" 



OK, Kim Johnson, your turn!

  7. I have a line to add today but not sure how to add it - it’s from Maybe by Kobe Yamada -

    Wherever you go, take your hopes,
    pack your dreams, and never forget - it is on journeys that discoveries are made.

  9. I remember those beautiful words from a song in the 1971 movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" based on Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Is it in the book too or are you quoting from the movie? I want to cite it correctly on Wednesday when it's my turn.

    1. I am not sure...I looked up the line on Goodreads as I couldn't remember. Either way, I think it's OK.

    2. It's definitely okay! It's a great line for that spot and not the only movie lyric line in the poem. I took a look in the book and don't see it, so I'll cite it as from the movie.
