In November 2014, Bob Raczka challenged us to write haiku from the the point of view of our favorite monsters. Given last Friday's post, it seems appropriate to follow up with a monster-themed haiku, don't you think?
SHREK
Big, ugly ogre
is not who I am inside

Option 1: A set of 8 copies of The Best of Today's Little Ditty: 2014-2015 to use with a classroom or extracurricular group.
Option 2: One copy of The Best of Today's Little Ditty, plus a $20 gift card to purchase a poetry book(s) of your choice.
Option 3: A $25 gift card if you already have all the copies of The Best of TLD you need.
Shrek is a character that teaches us how to love. Thanks for showing him so well, Mindy.

ReplyDeleteThanks for this, Mindy. I can always use the reminder not to judge too quickly or harshly... a nasty habit that's all too common these days.
