I love the way the flower unfurls from the closed "pincushion" bud. Love the "Inovator in Residence" program. Sounds like the California Poets in the Schools program, which is also a great one. x0x0 N2N2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09508740809219902631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-65176923736360802162019-09-20T18:12:13.784+01:002019-09-20T18:12:13.784+01:00a pretty flower with a terrible name. a pretty flower with a terrible name. ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-34906759699117754372019-09-20T16:32:13.029+01:002019-09-20T16:32:13.029+01:00So can we expect you to be taking part in Poetry M...So can we expect you to be taking part in Poetry Monday (with gusto) from now on? lol But seriously, can we?
