to read this month's interview with Julie Fogliano. She has challenged
us to stare out the window and write a poem about what we see. You might
even consider writing something down every day for a week:
You have until today at 5:00 pm (EST) to join in! Post your poem on our May 2018 padlet and I will add it to the wrap-up presentation HERE. One lucky participant will win a personalized copy of Julie's stunning new picture book from Roaring Brook Press:At the end of the week, read through what you wrote and write your favorite bits on a separate piece of paper. I bet there will be a poem in there somewhere… see if you can find it. – J. F.
Saying goodbye to window views with a moon view is lovely, Michelle. Love that "origami" moon, a new way to imagine it! What a wonderful challenge Julie gave everyone this month!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Aside from the fun of writing the poems, this month's challenge reminded me to take a little time and just look. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love the phases of the moon. What a creative view from your window!
ReplyDeleteJust the act of aitting and watching helped me gind calm moments in a crazy month. Love the poem.
ReplyDeleteI need no encouragement to look out the window. :) Just this morning I was admiring the moon through the dark trees. Now I'll imagine it in a different way, thanks to your clever poem, Michelle.
ReplyDeleteI have to go outside to see the moon, but when visiting my parents this week I could see it from the window. Love the use of words unfold and origami.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Seven lovely words. Nice job, Michelle!
ReplyDeletewhat a picture your words create to think of a moon as folds of paper and one the you just wrote your pome and in it unfolds as we read in lighting up the world lovely
ReplyDeleteHow enchanting, can I climb inside your "window seat" and sail off to that "origami moon."
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, everyone! So happy to unfold poems with all of you last month. :)
