Thank you for sharing a Shakespearean sonnet today! My favorite line: "Each of us was something else before." The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that I was a cat before! I'm sure you can think of lots of other things that "you were before!" Hope you have a wonderful weekend! =)Fats @ GatheringBookshttp://gatheringbooks.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-5554986770974038092016-04-02T06:50:02.461-04:002016-04-02T06:50:02.461-04:00Amy,

I like the idea of one-ness that you're exploring through the coral.<br /><br />Today, I'm pairing a Mary Ann Hoberman poem, "Brother," with a new middle grade novel about brothers. TREASURE AT LURE LAKE is an adventure story set in the Colorado woods, but it's also about the relationship between two brothers.<br /><br />http://laurashovan.com/2016/03/lauras-bookshelf-treasure-at-lure-lake/author amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800868615186010584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-36319183570507153542016-04-01T06:43:41.947-04:002016-04-01T06:43:41.947-04:00I really do love the idea that "each of us wa...I really do love the idea that "each of us was something else before." That invites wonder, and empathy, and connection---all the things poetry does so well. <br /><br />My post for Poetry Friday was inspired by a fresco at The University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, and is part of the year-long poetry challenge I've undertaken with my Poetry Sisters writing group. Such fun to see how other poets interpret the same image!<br /><br />Good luck on your Poetry adventure this month, and thank you so much for hosting!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225998457253574928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-70797839022579516562016-04-01T06:41:03.268-04:002016-04-01T06:41:03.268-04:00Good morning, Amy, and many April Wonderations to ...Good morning, Amy, and many April Wonderations to you! Yes, a sonnet, but a very gentle one with a lovely conversational tone. I like to think that you were coral once, and especially "I cling to my opinions and beliefs."<br /><br />Isn't Wonderopolis grand? I hope Paul will be linking his project up here...and don't forget to send me a Poetry-Music Match-Up (or PMMU!) one day this month.
