    1. I forgot blogger doesn't do double spaces. Here it is again with slashes:
      dash/dit dit dit dit/dit dash/dash dit/dash dit dash/ dit dit dit

  6. This was fantastic. I'm going to share it with some of my students who would love to write Morse Code poetry as well!

    PS You didn't put your link to your blog at my blog. You might want to go back and do that so everyone on Poetry Friday gets to read this!
