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...

By Matt Forrest Esenwine. They say when it rains, it pours. And whoever “they” are…they know my life pretty well. Freelancers often never know what their days are going to look like.

Don’t just “play” with your kids… – Radio, Rhythm & Rhyme

https://mattforrest.wordpress.com/2015/07/21/dont-just-play-with-your-kids

Radio, Rhythm and Rhyme. Tying together poetry, parenting, and advertising in a neat little package. Don’t just “play” with your kids…. July 21, 2015. July 20, 2015. By Matt Forrest Esenwine. I think I’ve finally realized why I can identify with kids – why writing for children, being a stay-at-home parent, and cracking up at the same Spongebob episodes I’ve seen a million times all seem to suit me. And it’s not just that I’m a “big kid” myself, as they say. I play “like” my kids. And when a friend’...

The birth of an idea | Poetry Tag

https://poetrytag.wordpress.com/2015/05/27/the-birth-of-an-idea

New words for Sally →. The birth of an idea. May 27, 2015. Sally gave me the words birth. I read an article once called something like: Writing tips from the Great Writers. One of the tips was ‘don’t write about trying to write’. Here’s a poem where I blithely ignore advice from the Greats. (Sorry, Greats.). THE BIRTH OF AN IDEA. What should you do at the birth of an idea? Swaddle it in muslin,. Sit together in the dark. Whisper in its ear. With joy in your heart. And a spark in your eye;. And let it go.

Radio, Rhythm and Rhyme. Tying together poetry, parenting, and advertising in a neat little package. Poetry Friday: “Goodbye”. July 31, 2015. July 31, 2015. By Matt Forrest Esenwine. I mentioned this past Tuesday I’ve been rather busy lately. But I couldn’t let Poetry Friday slip past without sharing something! This is my newest poem; I hope you like it. The cupboards, bare. The counters, clean. 8230;……. Is worn from years. Of paws and soles. That scuttled through the door. 8230;……. No food, no clothes;.
