~ Bob Raczka, 
from Lemonade and Other Poems 
Squeezed from a Single Word

I've mentioned this before, but I love how Raczka created the poems in his book, using only the letters found in the title of each one.  I really need to try that sometime.  I'm sure it is very challenging!

It's been earthworm weather here lately with all of our rain -- worms all over the sidewalk. Raczka's good advice at the end of the poem makes me giggle every time I read it! :)
