I look at the poems I've written for the Poem-a-Day Challenge and most of them were like squeezing blood from a stone...the good ones AND the crummy ones. <br /><br />I just posted a three-line haiku for tomorrow. It took me three hours. <br /><br />And yet...we all love this writing island, don't we?

I love your poem and the behind the scene tour of your thinking process. <br /><br />I am a rookie - having recently started dabbling into the blogging world. Started with Slice of Life at TwoWritingTeachers and along the way have met so many fabulous writers/teachers. Many thanks. You have already inspired me with fresh ideas. I will surely be sharing your work with my 4th graders. <br /><br />Many thanks!!<br />TheresaLooking for the Write Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556736797707525140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-10561670445916047052010-04-23T08:25:05.279-05:002010-04-23T08:25:05.279-05:00April- I usually hate everybody else's poetry,...April- I usually hate everybody else's poetry, but this-- not bad. Not bad at all. I have Girl Coming in for a Landing on reserve at the public library even though I usually REALLY hate novels in verse.

And I love everything about this poem, from the title, "Blog-i-verse-a-tree" :-), to the rhyme scheme, to the way it merges our blogiversary with Earth Day, to the terrific last line:<br />"joining five friends to Tweet, to sing!" <br />[And I'm SO GLAD you decided to join us a year ago!]<br />You've gotten my Poetry Friday to a lovely start. :-)Carmela Martinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543808551988338496noreply@blogger.com
