Poetry Friday: Last Minute Effort (and Taylor Mali's Metaphor Dice)

Busy. 

Teaching a Brave Writer class. Starting edits on my latest book. 

(What? I haven't talked about the new book? Details coming soon.) 

I didn't get a Poetry Friday post done, so I stole a past poem from myself, from a past busy day, a past frantic Friday. 

Be sure to visit Catherine at Reading to the Core for the round-up this week.

Oh, and did I mention that Taylor Mali commented on last week's post? The always lovely Janet Fagal (Janet Clare F. in comments) is a friend of his and confirmed that it was the actual Taylor commenting on my actual blog when I expressed skepticism that Mali would ever actually find my blog. Whew. That's a lot of actuality. 

Anyway, in the second comment Taylor left (I call him Taylor now because, you know, I'm friends with all my commenters), he mentioned that he's testing a sale, aimed at teachers, (60% off!) on his Metaphor Dice, which I'll be nabbing for My Daughter the Teacher. 

You can find out more here. Just tell my buddy Taylor that Karen sent you. 

Last Minute Effort 

by Karen Edmisten 

Life is busy,

(as you know.)

So this week something

had to go.

Poetry Friday?

(Yikes! No post.)

I'll send you elsewhere,

to the host.

Simple solution.

(Brilliant, I know.)

Catherine's the best,

so go, now. Go!
