TGIF

So here I am on Friday... woohoo!  I have 2 poems to be published this December and I was hoping to get some feedback last night at the poets meeting, but it was cancelled at the last minute. I will put that aside for the moment and move onto something else.  Starting a new poem.  It was inspired by reading Writing the Life Poetic, Chapter 59, Tell Someone Else's Story.  I love the opening instruction:  Whose story do you most want to tell?  Remember you are not limited to "real" people.  Mr. Spock, Zeus, The Cat in the Hat, and a jar of applesauce may all qualify.  That last item caught my eye.  That reminded me of an inanimate object on my Acorn List.  And to get my notes organized, I will start with who, what, when, where, why and how as suggested in How to Write Short, Chapter 9, Tap the power of two.  This chapter addresses the most basic move in short writing, the one-two punch, where the author takes two elements of language and rubs them together for effect.  Okay, here I go...
