You always feel you don't come close to the beauty and simplicity of the original. But that's what learning from them is all about--finding a way to make it your own.

I just went back and read all your posts and I agree with Violet -- what you've done here is flat-out amazing. You'll have a manuscript worth shopping, or at least a mentor text that I'll use to show students how to write from a mentor text. Please consider this a very belated standing ovation!!!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-72099113141922422962016-04-22T23:21:45.098-04:002016-04-22T23:21:45.098-04:00I think yours is my favorite of all the poetry mon...I think yours is my favorite of all the poetry month projects that I'm following, with the creek weaving all this variety into one.
