It is in response to Michelle Barnes’ April/Poetry Month Ditty of the Month Club (DMC) challenge, that I created two “echo-based” acrostic poems. The first echo photo-poem (a combo acrostic-haiku),.

Quick Thinks about Literature and Life (Redundant? Lovely Lady, Parasoled. Echo (2) →. April 8, 2016. Today’s hostess is Laura at “Writing the World for Kids.”. In response to Michelle Barnes’ DMC for April/Poetry Month, I’ve created two “echo-based” acrostic poems. The first echo photo-poem (a combo Haiku-acrostic), I do believe, was inspired by last week’s PF host, Amy VanDerwater’s reference to Wonderopolis and their posting of owl wonders. Exercising poetic license, I opted to assume the owl was fema...

Poetry Friday: “Gettysburg: July 1, 1863” – Reading to the Core
https://readingtothecore.wordpress.com/2015/07/03/poetry-friday-gettysburg-july-1-1863

As we gear up to celebrate our nation’s birthday tomorrow, its seems appropriate, this year especially, to pause and remember the battle of Gettysburg, which ended 152 years ago today after Pickett’s disastrous charge. How is it that after all this time, our nation is still grappling with this issue?
