Playing with poetry further, I took Elisabeth Ellington’s nail polish name poem as a mentor. I have a box of nail polish, apparently ripe with racy innuendo. This wouldn’t be an elementary school project. Here it is. Each line of poetry is a nail polish name in my collection.

What a fun idea! I always love the names on nail polish or paint strips. This is really fun and funny!
This is hilarious! Puns are big in nail polish colors and yes, plenty of racy innuendo. I am determined to do a nail polish poem with a serious tone this week, but it’s kind of hard! So many of the names are so silly!
This is super fun. Changing my April PD to our playing with poetry in stations. Thanks for the inspiration. Stations? Haikubes, paint chips, magnet poetry, nail polish ? I need 5.
Tomorrow paint chips. Though I already want more. Did you see the curses?!? Hilarious.
