OUR BLOGIVERSARY! (at TeachingAuthors.com)
by April Halprin Wayland

We six who ride our blog horse here
are rather like that Paul Revere
“One if by land, two if by sea,”
was revolution’s poetry
We TeachingAuthors gallop, too,
to share our lantern light with you
we aim to help, support and cheer
so you can write with joy, not fear
in this New Land: Kidlitosphere

The story behind the poem:
x
Two years ago I stood on this Pacific shore as five hands from across the country stretched out to me and said, “Join us!”
x
I thought, “No way in heck.”
x
My writing life—and the rest of my life, too—has changed because of the comradeship, mentor-ship, craftswoman-ship and overall amazingness of the good ship TeachingAuthors.com
x
If you get an invitation to join a blog, my advice is to climb aboard. It blows my mind that I almost didn’t reach back.

Your turn! Is someone celebrating a birthday or an anniversary this month? Click on a thesaurus and a rhyming dictionary and then play with words until you find a poem. Now give them their poem present.
