I love how we all make these personal connections with poetry-- and with each other via poems-- especially sharing cherished holiday memories.

And now that you mention it, no one complained when I stopped piano lessons. <br /><br />Yay for music with words!<br /><br />(though we will have to get Jama to play the xlophone.)Jeannine Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886966069866356470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-39794086189251250612011-12-09T16:38:39.115-05:002011-12-09T16:38:39.115-05:00Thank you, everyone, for your comments! Elaine: I ...Thank you, everyone, for your comments! Elaine: I love, love, love your tags. Making your own personal connection is EXACTLY what we want readers to do. That's why we took out the mini-tag lines that I wrote; they were too limiting. (The version you saw was an early "collector's item" version that had those tag lines still in it.) Now the format is simpler: photo, poet's reflections, and poem. <br /><br />I really hope that this book inspires people to share their memories with their kids and grandchildren.

I still have my potholder frame & a bagful; have taught my grandson & am waiting for the next to be old enough. I have played poetry tag with my students, who loved doing the connections, just as all of you poets seemed to love doing. I enjoyed your comments for each poem, too, Elaine.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-48005292550257331812011-12-09T13:05:44.846-05:002011-12-09T13:05:44.846-05:00Love all these poems and how you supplied your own...Love all these poems and how you supplied your own tags.
