Wow! There was a lot of great stuff this week. Thanks so much for recapping. I don't know about you, but this posting every day has worn me out! I thought writing book reviews would be easier than writing a poem a day, but they to have taken on a life of their own and they are long!
I have enjoyed it, but am looking forward to just a teeny bit of a blog break.
Tricia,
I know how you feel. I decided not to commit myself to posting an original poem every day during the month of April this year. I find, however, that writing up some of my other posts can take as much time as writing a poem--some take even longer.
Thank you for recapping. It has been a challenge to keep up eith 30 days=40 poems this year. I think I am spent from writing for the national boards.
National Poetry Month. Imagine if we took this same passion and used it throughout the year!
Thanks for all the great text and ideas!
Jone,
It's hard blogging every day, isn't it? I have to ignore other things I should set my mind to doing--like cleaning out my closets.
Coloreader,
I agree. I wish more people would share and write poetry with children throughout the year.
