Today's found poem comes from How Ben Franklin Stole the Lightning, written and illustrated by Rosalyn Schanzer.
Ben Franklin, Inventor
thunderstorms brewing
ring church bells for all they're worth
steal lightning from the sky
pure electricity
a kite string, key, silk ribbon
famous lightning rod

It's so funny that in school we only ever hear about the lightning and the key - not that the storm was bad enough to ring church bells! He's lucky he lived!
