I did share his picture prompts with teachers I work with at one of my buildings…they thought it was a great resource for picture prompts (which help spark something) for some students…

I got 27 poems written – and I haven’t written poetry in years! I did two over the March Slice month, but I’m so happy I did this challenge. I need to go back through them and see how I feel about them now :)

I am trying to share the importance of writing in more than one genre with those I work with because something does “spark” with some students, like poetry, more than expository writing, although they need both. Your poem delight, each & every line holds such a sweet application to poetic excitement. I’m also glad the policeman was helpful at the end-lucky you! Thanks!

I think you have stumbled onto one of the reasons it is helpful to write everyday. “Sometimes, something sparks, and a poem in particular might grab hold —some line, some word, some sentiment —that might be developed later on.”
