Today's Verse Love Host, Sarah Donovan, asks us to share what we saw, what changed, and what we carry forward from this month of poems. I am very grateful for this community of educators Sarah has amassed that share drafts bravely and encourage each other graciously. I started to try to do what Sarah did and thank those whose words made a difference, but there are too many of you and my poem of gratitude was endless. I'll try to do some thank you notes in comments but please know your words really do matter.
After this month of poeming,
Love this new word, I am
Reminded that written words are potent,
Empowering communication tools for mortals,
Wishing we could use this approach for embracing
Writers in schools with intense, risk-free experiences,
Thankful for the encouragement to take this risk,
All who noticed my voice and drafts as valid,
Energized by thinking as one might feel after a
Completing a great book or marathon while
Planning to return to read, learn, grow, share,
Perhaps, maybe even host a day in the future.
