I am new to the blogosphere but have been ...Hi Amy,<br />I am new to the blogosphere but have been following you for almost the entire month! I first met you at MM Poetry and then Melinda H. told me great things about you. Your site and you are wonderful. I really enjoy your poems and your ideas. Wow and you just keep on going with more and more. I think it is so helpful that you have cataloged your poems. I will definitely share this with all the teachers I meet and am in contact with. I love your urge poem...it surged!!! I know Amy Merrill from Binghamton a bit and I know she talked to me about you. I hope to convince people in my area here in CNY to have you come to do some workshops. Looking forward to what you have to share next and will also be going back to read your older posts and your poems. Thank you for your generosity!!<br />Janet F.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-34212064091211527192012-04-24T15:47:47.949-04:002012-04-24T15:47:47.949-04:00Christophe - I did not intentionally use a trochai...Christophe - I did not intentionally use a trochaic meter...but maybe the heavens sent it to me! Thank you for noticing it.<br /><br />Today I am soothed by both haiku. I found URGE to be a bit of a hard word with those two middle consonants, but a soul through a teepee flap and the wisdom of receiving have changed my thinking. Thank you both! <br /><br />As for that inopportune midafternoon...perfect!

After you suggested a rhyming book, I found an app for my iPhone. It is called RhymeFree and returns rhymes, and syllables. My next poem will be something like:<br />"This midafternoon,<br />My contrabassoon<br />Dropped in the lagoon.<br />How inopportune!"Christophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563896091270401900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-49463417563215711052012-04-24T12:28:08.741-04:002012-04-24T12:28:08.741-04:00I was gone all yesterday and I am a day behind! No...I was gone all yesterday and I am a day behind! No Teepee poem from me. Did you intentionally use a trochaic tetrameter like "Song of Hiawatha?" It was the first thing that hit me with your teepee poem (although I admit to being intrigued by the question of first nation potty training.Christophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563896091270401900noreply@blogger.com
