One Word Poem

I recently delighted in reading Lemonade and Other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word by Bob Raczka. As I was writing a review about it on my book review blog, I suggested that it would be a good book to use in the language arts classroom to inspire and challenge students to compose their own. Of course, I had to try it and this is what I came up with:

Labradors
Lab        s
              s
            o
       ra
     br    o
        ad
     b ad
       rad
               s
l            o
    b         s

Translation:

Labradors
Labs
soar
broad
bad
rad
slobs
