Poetry Friday is Here & Baseball Glove - Poem #4

IS HERE!

Happy Happy First Poetry Friday of National Poetry Month.  I am so glad you stopped by.  Today is Day #4 in my series of 30 April poems and process notes all on the theme...

LIVE!
Learn about this, my April 2014 Poetry Project, HERE!

Baseball Glove

Students - Yesterday I was a nervous writer.  See, writing can make me anxious.  A blank page can make me feel scared, and I can do a thousand things to avoid getting started.  Fortunately, dogs understand moods, and so a dog can truly be a writer's best friend.  Below you can see my wonderful muse dog Cali: just yesterday: telling me to get writing, napping on my notebook, cuddling the page as I think, napping as I revise.  Her warm furry body made me believe I could get started after all.

At first I thought that today's verse might begin with the sound of the ball hitting a glove.  Then I thought it might be about how broken in the mitt in this photo is - about a child breaking in a glove.  This is when I stood up and walked to the computer to do a bit of research and when Cali decided to plop herself right on my notebook.  Shortly after, I decided not to write about breaking in a glove.

I considered using one of my favorite meters from "A Jellyfish" by Marianne Moore (you can see the hash marks in the first photo below) but abandoned that idea quickly.

Baseball Glove - Draft Page Spread #1

Then, just writing along, I came up with the idea of every baseball glove getting that one moment of glory.  That was the spark, the line to follow.

It takes such a spark to really get me moving.  A spark just lights.  Perhaps my fear is simply fear that a spark will never really light at all.  The fear that my mind's kindling is...well...wet.

Today's poem took about seventy-five minutes to write, not including the revision at the computer screen which involved the fun movement in stanza 4.

About the rhyme, "story"/"glory" - yup.  One of my favorite rhyme pairs.  I learned it in BLESS US ALL: A CHILD'S YEARBOOK OF BLESSINGS, by the wondrous Cynthia Rylant.

And "winterwaits" - yup.  Another wordsmush.

One last process note.  Recording these poems really helps the writing.  You see many cross outs in my drafts, and I have told you that I read my poems aloud many times.  But in a final recording, I often hear one glitch that sends me back to the keyboard.  This happened last night.  In the second stanza, you now read the word "saves."  Originally it read "saved."  Listening to my own voice, I heard the tense switch and it made me crazy as this is number ten in the Twenty Most Common Errors in College Writing. Now it is consistent: gets, saves, has, looks.

In happy news, I am truly tickled to be part of a conversation with Stephanie Parsons and her fourth grade writers over at The Learning Laboratory. Stephanie, author of so many books I admire and co-author with Lucy Calkins and me of Poetry: Big Thoughts in Small Packages (Heinemann), is exploring poetry with her students in many beautiful ways, and I know I will learn a lot from them.

There are still two days left to leave a comment and thereby enter the Post-It Note giveaway over at Sharing Our Notebooks.  Don't miss Mary's notebook poem celebration.

And tomorrow, please return here to enter a giveaway for two books: one copy of THE POETRY FRIDAY ANTHOLOGY FOR SCIENCE compiled by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong and one copy of my own FOREST HAS A SONG. Each Saturday of April, I will offer this same giveaway here, for eight books in all.  Thank you to Sylvia and Janet for your generosity.

At last!  It's time for....the Poetry Friday posts!  Please leave a few words about your post along with a direct link in the comments, and I will add everyone's information all day, old school!  For those of you who are new to this community, we meet and share poetry links every Friday, and all are always welcome - to read, to link, as you wish!

  44. Amy,
    I have to ask. I loved your photo of the baseball glove, but isn't that a left-handed glove? I always thought that was funny, that the glove that goes on a right hand for left-handed players is called a left-handed glove. Who in your family is the left handed ball player?
    Both of my sons are lefties, so at very early ages they had their own gloves instead of the ones that came in the equipment bags for public use, because most of those didn't have left handed gloves.

  48. Amy,
    Perfect timing for a baseball poem. I have to agree that the story/glory rhyme is a fun one. I also like the way you have spaced the words in running, reaching, catching as if the player is moving out across the field to take that catch.

    Today I'm just squeaking in under the wire with an original poem. I'm writing a poem every day about an object. It turns out this week, I'm choosing "objects of memory." You know those little things you keep around because they are attached to a story planted deep inside of you.
