Dictionary Poem

Wow!  I'm intrigued again! Or am I tickled?

I noticed yesterday that in the past two posts I’ve used the word ‘intrigued’. 

(See my photo above

for another intriguing moment 

where a leaf melted the ice and

then got blown away

by the strong winds yesterday.) 

I went back to my prior posts to change one of the 'intrigueds', but found I couldn’t think of a better word for it in either case.  I decided that it would be intriguing to search for other ways to say I was intrigued.

And it was.

Voila! A poem for Friday.  I guess you could call it a Dictionary Poem!

My curiosity

is aroused,

 so I must be 

intrigued,

Or could I be

Pulled,

Drawn,

Piqued,

Tickled,

Excited,

Hooked,

Riveted,

Pleased,

Grabbed,

Charmed,
Titillated,

Delighted,
Absorbed,

Enchanted,
Enthralled,
Interested,

Fascinated,
Stimulated,

Captivated,

or

Entertained?

I do know,

I'm 

Not bored.
****************************************
How to write a "Dictionary Poem" (invented by me!):  The definition is worked in at the beginning, then a list of synonyms (at least 4) and then the antonym worked in at the end.  It seemed a format that kids could use pretty easily, AND learn some vocabulary for use in other writing later.  I also liked the building of the tower of words, but it doesn't have to be that way.  It can depend on the word.  For instance 'random' could have a whole different look!

BTW: If you try it, or get your writer crew to try it, let me know!  I'd love to read them and see how the format/method works in other's minds!  Just comment with the poem, or where to find it online, and say "Don't post," if you just want me to read it and not publish.  My comments are approved before posting, not automatically posted.
