Arriving on the desk of one of my ELA teachers was a beautifully written poem titled The Pie King. Meter, rhyme, vocabulary, rhythm, punctuation, everything was perfect, which of course, raised a suspicion or two. It is written more as a nursery rhyme. A sample is below. If you recognize any part of the poem, please let me know. We hope the young lady is this talented, but since the poem will be published in the local paper, we want to make sure. This is the story of good King Lou. He was happy and plump and hungry too. He loved to eat pie with all his heart. That is how this poem starts. He walked into his larder for a snack He looked on shelves both front and back But he found nothing to eat This growling stomach would soon have him beat.
