Poetry Month Winds Down Landing on Peace
This is the last week of National Poetry Month. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing daily on my WordPress blog. The prompts gave me something to focus on, so I am thankful for that.

Earth Day & Poetry Month
Today is Earth Day. I pulled out some of my environmental lessons and am working to put them together so I can post them to Teachers Pay Teachers. One idea I had in 2020 was to make a self-study activity card pack on the monarch butterfly for classroom use. Lately, it’s been on my mind…

Elegy: A Lament For The Dead. National Poetry Month, Day 13
“Hi Carol. Dad.” How I miss those words; the words he said when he called to talk to me. I wonder how long it will be before I can no longer clearly hear his voice in my head. Sadly, with time, I know it will fade. With my Dad’s recent passing, my thoughts naturally turned…
