Line 2 of the Progressive Poem

Spring is the time of plans and projects.
~Leo Tolstoy

Happy (Inter)National Poetry Month! Time for Irene Latham's 2017 Kidlitosphere Progressive Poem. Thanks, Irene and Heidi!

#1, Heidi's line:

I'm fidget, friction, ragged edges--

When I thought about where to go with the second line, I thought it was too soon to rhyme, so I focused on continuing with nine syllables, giving a nod to spring, and opening up the narrative possibilities! Shout out to the CKs (Chris, Krista, and Katherine) for letting me bounce ideas and lines off them. You are awesome!

Without further ado, here's line two:

I sprout stories that frazzle-dazzle

So far we have

I'm fidget, friction, ragged edges--
I sprout stories that frazzle-dazzle

On to line three from Dori! Onward and upward, y'all!
