I've been offline most of the past week. Yes, Linda, sadly, we're still fighting some of the same issues today.<br />Thanks Michelle and Brenda. Glad you liked the sonnet.<br />Tabatha, yes, it was not only cool that someone dedicated a sonnet to a 5-year-old, but without it, we wouldn't have known how exceptional and well-known she was at the time. The info we have about her childhood is scant.<br />Mary Lee and Donna, while the movie was visually stunning, I was disappointed in what they left out from the book. <br />April, thanks so much for the affirmation of my poetry. I still hesitate to call myself a poet, even though I wrote poetry long before I turned to prose. <br /> Carmela Martinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543808551988338496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-40005387590095278122018-03-14T23:05:40.909-05:002018-03-14T23:05:40.909-05:00Carmela ~ you have a lucrative career as poet ahea...Carmela ~ you have a lucrative career as poet ahead of you!

However, the movie veers off from important parts in the book and I no longer have any desire to watch it.<br />I like hearing about little known men and women who came before us and had brilliant minds.

I knew I could see the movie without the book losing it's place. The movie's vision of the story is intriguing, but the book is better. <br /><br />Hooray for all the feminine phenomenons in the past, present, and future!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-22276675853294208262018-03-10T05:48:45.028-06:002018-03-10T05:48:45.028-06:00"A Wrinkle in Time" was one of my favori..."A Wrinkle in Time" was one of my favorite books as a child, so I was nervous about them making a movie of it. Hope you have a good time on your outing. The Mrs. Whatsit quote hits the spot. <br />I love that someone wrote a sonnet for a five-year-old! How cool is that? Yours is terrific, thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for introducing me to these amazing sisters, Carmela.<br /><br />I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I only picked up Wrinkle for the first time last year because I was asked to do some poetry workshops related to themes in the book. I'm certainly glad I did, though! I look forward to seeing the movie, too.Michelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-34214047473213949012018-03-09T10:23:10.441-06:002018-03-09T10:23:10.441-06:00I love hearing more about this little-known woman,...I love hearing more about this little-known woman, Carmelo. So many picture book bios are being published about the women we never knew who did great things. Good luck with yours! I do see the 'turn' in your sonnet, like that you wrote your own in a response to the other one. Wow! seven languages and fluent at five with the 2nd! I just read and shared a new Jane Austen pic book bio where the story also told of her courage to fight the norms of little education for girls and only readying for a husband. Some of that remains, doesn't it? Thanks for great post!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
