Dear ,Just taking a minute today to wish you a very joyous Easter and to be sure you don't miss out on "Poetry Rocks" if you'd like to delight yourself with what poetry can do for you and your writing this April ;). It starts in just two days.
This course is great for you if you've always loved poetry, and just as good if you've always felt you've never really "gotten" poetry. As the writer Charles Bukowski says in his poem "War Some of the Time"when you write a poem it
needn't be intense
it
can be nice and
easy
Truly, writing poems can be "nice and easy", as WordPlayer Barbara Allen proved when she jotted off a quick poetic reply to my "National Chip and Dip Day" good wishes last Saturday. It's posted below for your enjoyment.
But before you read it, note that you don't have to rhyme to write a poem, and you don't have to be a poet to reap the advantage of learning about and playing with this genre. You do, however, have to register before April 1st to receive your first poetry tool in your inbox that morning! Details below.
Love and light,
Maureen

A Response to...
Chip and Dip/
Then Slip a Sip/
--or perhaps a Nip?/
Past the Tip of the Lip!/
(Have I Flipped?) I so enjoyed Barbara Allen's witty reply to last Saturday's email that I thought you probably would to! She was kind enough to grant permission for me to share it with you:
Oh Maureen, You should really be ashamed,
Scorned at least and surely blamed
For breathing words like "chip" and "dip"
And adding weight upon each hip. I'll add a pound here on the right
By munching chippers half the night.
Positively not outdone,
The left will add another one. I can't stop with just a taste;
Crunchy, salty calls my waist.
Add to that to cap my day
A glass or two of chardonnay. Maybe you have lost your grip
Or taken a colossal flip.
Save me one potato chip
And please pass the onion dip! ~ Barbara Allen
Thanks for WordPlaying!
