I've been tinkering around with the challenge and found myself moving into fictionalized small moment scenes instead, which has been quite interesting! I'm not sure they quite fit the "all about me" idea of the challenge, so I'm still working on one for that. Thanks for sharing these today and giving us a peek into so many poets' lives!Molly Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975100905434379155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740307479750463845.post-71180506349222217742019-09-14T21:22:04.995-04:002019-09-14T21:22:04.995-04:00I enjoyed getting to know a little more about our ...I enjoyed getting to know a little more about our poetry friends!

I love Linda B's undecided enthusiasm, Joyce's tasty theme, Linda M's wide-ranging eye. *All* the poems have their own charms, like the poets themselves.

I do think the challenge with this would be helping people break out of the "trying to fit in" mindset and be honest which will really help students connect. But that whole "be honest about ourselves with each other" is a tough thing for everyone not just students.

I'm planning on carving out some time to write one… Just wrote one for my son who turned 25, his was short and sweet with only 4 letters.

What fun they are and I love how you organized them into what was revealed. It would be very fun to have students write these, at the beginning of the year, then maybe at the end, too, and compare?
