Yay! I’ll have three haiku in the upcoming Haiku Northwest 25th Anniversary Anthology. I know that we will be having some events in late June, so I might get a chance to read the poems. I look forward to that.

Yes, I know a bit too much alliteration in the title…but anyways…I mentioned in my last post that I was very busy this weekend.
I was and wasn't. I enjoyed a weekend full of writing and friends. I attended the SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) Western Washington Conference. I met up with some people, I hadn't seen in a year or more. I also met new friends. I learned that it’s time to submit my work aggressively. I made a promise, to a fellow writer that I’ll be submitting like crazy. So I have until May 20th to give her a list of places that I choose. I also came up with a new story, and I’m looking forward to writing it. I have a fun challenge ahead! On Thursday, the 18th, it was National Poem In Your Pocket Day. That’s where you take a poem you’ve written or a favorite poem, put it in your pocket and share it with others.
For my class, I wrote a poem for each of my students. It described them and some of their favorite things. They put those poems in their pocket (or left them on the floor). I ended up printing out some extras but that’s okay. My students created some of their own poems for friends, family members, themselves, and even me. Overall the children had a blast sharing poems with each other. April is National Poetry Month, here are some events in the area:

I submitted this poem along with others about a year ago. After some delay the Anthology is due to come out in about a month and a half. Here’s the poem: snow flurries float with autumn leaves-- i rest my rake against a tree At first, I wanted critique something I wrote over a year ago, but instead I’ll just let it be… And enjoy it… National Poetry Month, but it is National Autism Awareness Month: http://www.autism-society.org/about-us/national-autism-awareness-month/
I've taught several children with autism, so I wanted to post about this too. We had an excellent presentation about children with autism at our school about a month ago… April is National Poetry Month. I’m planning a lot of fun activities in my classroom. I also hope for some personal writing success.
Maybe even make an event: http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f14ddba94c68d9dacd2109f12&id=a21ffdeee2&e=478e68ea5b I went to our Haiku Northwest meeting on Thursday. We are planning the 25th anniversary of Haiku Northwest with an anthology. I plan to submit some of my poems, so we’ll see. I continue to write a haiku a day, sometimes more. It’s a lot of fun to write and read other people’s poems.
