Hi friends, this May Smash Boom Best is collaborating with the Poetry Podcasts The Slowdown on a

week of awesome episodes featuring the words and rhymes of kids who write, rap, and sing about

their lives.

And we want to feature your words on the show.

So here's a challenge.

Write a high coup, that's a tiny poem, about something huge, the big bang, a bully mammoth.

Whatever strikes you as massive and maybe massively cool.

High coups have a special format.

They have five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second, and five syllables

in the third.

A syllable is one beat or sound in a word.

So the word fart is one syllable.

The word often is two.

So if I had to use those two words to start a high coup, it might go something like this.

Fert, often, relax, that's five syllables.

Expressing yourself is good, that was seven syllables.

Just a gust, be free.

That was five syllables.

So if you feel inspired, head to smashboom.org slash contact and send us your little high coups

about big topics.

Hi there, Molly here.

I'm coming to you from Brains on Headquarters with some exciting news.
