I Was Trying Toby Funny Haha

Be taught to teach no rhyme in foot Could I write A little neater tutor a good writ does not think he pens paper My spelling is what you say professor Wrong no sense trying to argue that point Can I take a stab at grammar ain’t where Maybe I could do something else my coach There is always faith to be like someone Could be a pundit that was intended I will learn from the best one of us all

hahaha, you are trying,you are trying at least! Yes, in reply to your one question about story telling, I would dearly love to write a novel. I have many short stories I'm making into a book right now. The problem is that I can rarely get anybody to buy one of my many poetry chapbooks,How would I ever find a publisher for a novel??? Luv ya, Andrea

As a former teacher, I can appreciate your sentiments, John. And I admire the way you seek to "learn from the best." Great thoughts, John! Also, Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen can give you some pointers on formatting a "shape" poem. She has one about a cat where she actually shaped the cat. Love, carolyn
