I am a day late, but I think you will excuse it. The past two days have been terribly busy ones! I have a huge slice…well, not long, just huge.

It has been 10 days since I have written a post. I needed some time to discover my three R’s…and I don’t mean reading, writing, and ‘rithmetic.
It is also my one year anniversary of my blog! Thank you Two Writing Teachers for providing me the space to share my words.

I haven’t sliced this month because I have been writing around the theme, “Our Wonderful World” with Mary Lee Hahn at Year of Reading. Most of the poems I’ve written don’t quite fit the “Slice” genre but today’s topic is imagination and I wrote a poem about something that happened last week.
