ahem. hurrahhhhh for april. we'll be celebrating national poetry month
in my traveling poetry class. this will involve two
water-and-rocks-loving excursions: a trip to st. peter's villlage in
chester county and a return to our cherished hideaway spot along the
schuylkill river in pottstown, and hopefully it'll be warm and sunny after this snowy march. that's a very serious hopefully.
any topics of creative writing are welcome for sharing and workshopping during class by those who attend, but we have inspirational topics as prompt ideas, too. please bring a few copies to share with other students, if you can, for anything you write and want to practice reading as well as discussing. but just having your original copy to read from is okay, if that's easier for the writer.

It's now looking good for our trip to the river at Pottstown, Sunday April 29. Sunny and bright, high around 60. Spring enough for me (with a jacket for back-up). Yay!
