My thoughts on writing and other random things as they come up.

This is a blog where I keep my thoughts and daily comments about writing and WDC.

I really like his paragraph at the end, talking about it, too!

Just lovely! Kinda sideways, but it reminded me of my old Buick that I inherited when my grandfather passed away. No gloves, but little remnants of his pipe tobacco everywhere. Completely different sentiment, I know, but the poem still too me there while it was also bringing me along with the poet. I love it when reading poetry is like that!

I love the line, "where his growth scared him."

I'm also glad to be introduced to more female poets. I feel like I'm not familiar with enough of them.

I stumbled on the same line. For me, it's because it wasn't the same voice as what I'd perceived up to that point.

Gorgeous poem, though.

I am loving this activity for getting me to articulate why the poems that stick with me do stick with me, but I'm not experiencing any surprises in my personal preferences...yet.

Oh, gorgeous! Thank you for introducing me to this poem! I'm marking it to read again and again later.

I love where the first line breaks off, as well as, "playing music with words." I bet she was an inspiring teacher.

Oh, I love this poem. Thank you for introducing me to it, and for your personal perspective. I relate to your under- or over-reacting. And to the poet's depiction of the latter.

Two poems due Monday

My first two poems are due in my class on Monday.

EEK!

*LOL*

The first is about Place Names.

The second is about "The Unsaid."

I'm more interested in #2.

I'm going to have to get busy. I've done some free writing and the teacher has given us some prompts to help us get started, but I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself. I know I've just got to let that go and get something down.

We'll see what happens!

That's what I will be doing with my weekend.

What will you be doing with yours?

Recommended Reads - January

I have been waiting for a specific book to come out for a long time. It's called Father Brother Keeper,

by Nathan Poole, who is one of my favorite writers of all time.

It's out now on Kindle.

It's a series of short stories that have a southern gothic feel.

My Amazon Review

has been posted.

As has one on goodreads that says essentially the same thing.

I don't think I did a very good job conveying just exactly how wonderful I think this work is. I'll have to work on my persuasive essay skills!

A few other books I would recommend that I read this month are all Young Adult.

Bright Side

by Kim Holden

This book was recommended by a facebook friend. For the first half of the book I couldn't figure out what the big deal was. Then I figured out the big deal. Ugly Cry book big time, but also about hope and love, and dealing with grief.

The Sky is Everywhere

by Jandy Nelson

Another YA with a romance involved, but mostly about dealing with grief.

Puddle Jumping

by Amber Johnson

Another YA romance, with an unexpected diversity angle that I loved.

What's on your recommended read list?
