My Creative Writing Students’ Poetry Blog

On By angeliquejamailIn blogs, creative writing, high school, poetry, teaching, teenagers2 Comments

My high school Creative Writing class is focusing on poetry this year, and they’ve got a blog.  Pop on by if you’re interested and check out some of their work.  They’ve just started posting to it this week, so there are only a couple of poems up so far, but the kids are open to constructive feedback from other writers and readers, should you feel so inclined.  🙂

Here’s the link.

Thanks for stopping by!  🙂

Perhaps you have seen this short video before.  It’s one which has come across my screen many times over the last few years, and it haunts me — in a good way.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about beauty and inner peace and acceptance and self-love.  You’ll be seeing a slice of the written fruits of such philosophical labors this month.  But while I’m finishing that up, please enjoy this.

Happy October.
