Live Poets Club

At the beginning of the summer, I asked a friend if she had any ideas about where I could learn more about writing poetry. Her reply was, "I know someone who is one of the best poetry teachers I know. If he concedes to teach you, I'm in too. He's forgotten more than I'll ever know about poetry."

Long story short, he accepted. And the "Live Poets Club" was born. We've had two meetings thus far. Last time he had us write "circle poems." They are like free-association list poems. Each line is connected to the line before it but in surprising ways and at the end, the last line recalls the title in some way. Here are two from yesterday's session. The first was a group effort. The second is my attempt.

    In 2019, I retired from teaching kindergarten for over 30 years. I started this blog while still in the classroom, and have decided that it's time to revive it. Even in this new stage of life, the title of the blog still fits. Hoping to share musings and new learning.
