Being part of a community benefits a writing life. When I first began blogging, it was the community of writers that kept me writing. I have met so many amazing people through the act of writing stories and sharing words.
I belong to a group of writers called Teach Write. Each month we have a writing challenge to exercise our writing muscles. Sometimes it is a new poetry form and other times it is just a topic that centers our writing. Once a month we gather online to write and share, similar to a poetry slam. This is my favorite part - to hear the writing read aloud.
This month we are writing a Fib poem, which is a poem written in syllable count according to the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.
Last night we gathered, wrote, and shared, and today I offer you a bit of spring.
Magnolias
Just
one
blossom,
against a
cerulean sky,
heralding Miss Spring’s arrival.
Join Two Writing Teachers and other teacher-writers as we
share a slice of life during the month of March.
