The story behind the poem:
x
Two years ago I stood on this Pacific shore as five hands from across the country stretched out to me and said, “Join us!”
x
I thought, “No way in heck.”
x
My writing life—and the rest of my life, too—has changed because of the comradeship, mentor-ship, craftswoman-ship and overall amazingness of the good ship TeachingAuthors.com
x
If you get an invitation to join a blog, my advice is to climb aboard. It blows my mind that I almost didn’t reach back.
x
Your turn! Is someone celebrating a birthday or an anniversary this month? Â Click on a thesaurus and a rhyming dictionary and then play with words until you find a poem. Â Now give them their poem present.
x
