Still writing Golden Shovels for poetry month. Maybe starting to feel just a little bit more comfortable with the form. Maybe. https://girlgriot.wordpress.com/2021/04/20/bending/

I decided to write a poem to encourage students to return late books to the library. Bear with me. I have never been very good at writing poems, and even worst if I wrote them in English first. Since I’m shameless, I read it today via the Intercom during morning announcements to my entire school 😉 I am so happy I can share today with you also since it’s SOL Tuesday!

I wrote a Golden Shovel, not knowing how much it would mean this week. On Sunday afternoon we were called to a Teams staff meeting where our principal tearfully shared the news that a colleague had died of a massive heart attack. We are going through the days grieving.
