Happy Easter to you who celebrate! 🐇 And for those who are celebrating – Happy Passover!
Happy Poetry Month, where poems parade in the streets, run like rivers within our veins or settle in our hearts every.single,time.
I am planning to use this older book pictured left that follows the alphabet with one kind of prompt each day. I used this book on occasion in the classroom years ago, but never worked through it day by day, with deliberation! Here goes!
Today, Day Seven, calls for a ghazal, a complicated poetry form. One is challenged to follow the rules you can find here, one of which is that the theme of this form must touch on love and the other should include the poet's name in the last line. See if you can figure out how I did that! I chose to write about my husband who will be gone ten years this coming September. It still seems like yesterday.
