I read through your article that is helpful and I will use it as a reference in my poetry session for virtual PD this year. I loved reading and reflecting on your process for creating a beautiful ArtSpeak poem. Colors against the snow and terse verse makes this poem special. I read everything about your retreat workshop and wish it could be for me someday. This fall is devoted to my husband's hip replacement surgery and healing.Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-33058232645526834852022-07-16T23:02:24.397-05:002022-07-16T23:02:24.397-05:00This is poetry as exploration and experimentation,...This is poetry as exploration and experimentation, Irene. I like it. My choice is number 5 as the crow suddenly discovers the blazing plant he doesn't know the name of. Number 12 with its alliteration also grabs my attention. All these short poems capturing the exact moment crow and daffodil cross paths have something to recommend them. Small moment in time frozen like a photographic image...Alan j Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077195459186935005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-63221756111813227632022-07-16T19:02:55.836-05:002022-07-16T19:02:55.836-05:00I think my favorite is #14!

In my present state of "mush" (teaching English at a language camp this week and next) a poem that includes a pillow is a brilliant. :)Bridget Mageehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185985167366724404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-6978604012006721742022-07-15T06:59:02.956-05:002022-07-15T06:59:02.956-05:00Wow, that's a hard choice!

That yellow against that dark image...so much there! Best of luck to you on revisions. I know you can do it! And, I look forward to whatever new is coming from you. I volunteer to beta read!

I do love to see behind the creative curtain ... It's hard to pick a favorite - I think it's a tie between the last (formatted one) - it tells a story in just a few lines - and the first one, because I love anything with hope in it :-).<br /><br />Best of luck on your deadlines!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05051371332314735643noreply@blogger.com
