According to my trusty calendar, come April 22, my fellow
TeachingAuthors and I have been posting for TWELVE years!
YAY! and HOORAY!
My opening sentence deserves 11 more exclamation points, plus
one for Good Luck.
Traditionally, anything silk celebrates a 12th anniversary.
Here’s a photo of several of us raising our voices in thanks
to our trusty and trusted incomparable Administrator and Founder,
Carmela Martino, who continues to make sure our weekly posts
unfold as smooth as silk.
To celebrate, for the next 4 weeks, each TeachingAuthor will share
another TeachingAuthor’s post she especially holds dear.
It goes without saying: all of my fellow bloggers en-courage-ed me
to raise my voice and share my Writer’s Life and Truths with our
Readers.
I’ve always been in awe of both April’s oh, so poetic posts and her
fearlessly-and-fiercely-acquired illustration skills.
Her October 23, 2020 post, however – “Hop to it!” - had me printing
her fortifying words pronto and keeping them nearby in case my voice
faltered.
Here’s April’s original poem “Exercising My Voice” from Sylvia Vardell’s
anthology A WORLD FULL OF POEMS.
Thank you, Readers, for twelve glorious years!
And thanks to Tabatha Yeatts for hosting today’s Poetry Friday.
