Authors blog a few weeks ago, I am officially joining the Children’s
Poetry Blog Hop, letting Mortimer hop around while I write. I’m supposed to answer one question from the person who tagged me, then add two of my own, and answer them as well. Finally, tag one or two others that will continue on…
Jone McCullough tagged me, writing from her blog, Check it Out on October 10th. Thanks Jone!
The question I chose to answer from Jone's HOP
is "Do you like funny poems or beautiful ones?"
I think I've loved beautiful ones, like Mary Oliver's or William Stafford's, more often, but lately have been examining the challenges of writing funny ones and enjoying them more and more. It seems to me that poets who "write funny" have an extraordinary talent and sense of humor. I am trying to look at everything in different ways lately and hope it will help me improve my attempts at funny poetry.
