Write the Poem You Have Always Wanted To Write

Write the poem you have always wanted to write. If I had a dollar for every one of those I have written I would have seventeen thousand and six hundred and one dollars I say to my sixty grade students. My students stare at me, not understanding at all.

Thank you Andrea - I do not understand how I can keep doing this myself. Trixie is always on ready alert to begin a new poem though.

But one of these days the message will resonate, Caren. Every day I try to write my poems, the ones I want to write...mostly for me!
