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.

End of Semester CRUNCH

End of semester Crunch Time!

As far as school goes - I have a presentation on 5 poems by Allison Hedge Coke

and a portfolio of ten poems due on Monday, along with 16 poems to workshop for Wed & Friday! AGH!

Plus a daughter graduating from college in a couple weeks, (and hopefully getting a job, and possibly moving), a second daughter buying a house and moving, a third daughter going to prom and generally driving me crazy.

Oh yeah - and we're getting a new roof put on due to hail damage.

So - my presence and availability is about zero for the next three weeks.

I don't think I'm going to get to participate in the Iowa MOOC. Just not enough time!

Everyone stay safe! :)
