I readily admit I failed yesterday's #verselove25 challenge, only because I was out of the house for 14 hours with writer Torrey Maldonado visiting schools and living a good live of storytelling, humor, middle school kids, and the beautiful dedication of teachers (more on that down the road). Truth is, we spent hours with 500+ 7th & 8th graders at Wooster Middle School - a day to be remembered for always.
This afternoon we'll be at Possible Futures in New Haven, 2 p.m., where Torrey will be signing more autographs and doing his thing at a public venue. What a day (and that Scrabble game we began will soon be completed....someday. When? Who knows?).
Happy Saturday. The poem assigned yesterday was to be whimsical and dactyl (something about syllables and emphasis, which I couldn't figure out with this aging-fart brain...but I tried).
