Happy Poetry Month!
It's Poetry Friday, too, and Jone Rush MacCulloch is hosting HERE on her brand new, wonderful website, with a couple of interviews you'll want to read! Thanks for hosting, Jone! |

I'm taking the advice from the poet who has given so much to help us all, including students and teachers, write poetry. I'll be moving from A to Z, obviously needing to combine a few to make it all come out to 30. FYI—Sometimes, Paul Janeczko offers a prompt to write a poem that begins with the specific alphabet letter instead of a poem type. It will be fun to be open to writing in all kinds of ways!

Spring brings all kinds of thoughts and observations, and April is Poetry Month. This time, I admit I'm sharing an old poem. I wrote it years ago when Matt Forrest Esenwine was offering a challenge he called "Poetry Cubed." It remains a favorite of mine for spring.
Sit. Look long into that bloom.
Place its picture show in your mind,
the first love story.
