One of my poems in the book came from a workbook in THAT very classroom - I had the students begin to look for their own found poems in the same workbook, and they went to town. The teacher said several wrote poems "for fun" at home! :0)Robyn Hood Blackhttp://www.robynhoodblack.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-26771533791774204572012-04-17T17:29:02.878-05:002012-04-17T17:29:02.878-05:00Dear Mary Ann,

As Georgi...Dear Mary Ann,<br /><br />I love both your poems!<br /><br />As Georgia Heard's book has inspired you, so you have inspired me. Today on the radio they were talking about moving the space shuttle Discovery to the Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. <br /><br />One sentence that keeps rattling around in my head sounds as much like political commentary as simple description:<br /><br />"Discovery <br />is on the ground <br />in Washington."<br /><br />Sad where my brain goes, isn't it?<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for making me perk up to sounds around me!April Halprin Waylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10760393691320267240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-9816829898618394632012-04-17T06:27:03.291-05:002012-04-17T06:27:03.291-05:00Mary Ann - you ARE a poet!

The last line of the VJ Day poem is not what I expected, and very powerful as a result.Carmela Martinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543808551988338496noreply@blogger.com
