Well there I was posting about not being able to let go of
my poems when a message appears in my in-box reminding me that I did let one
of them, Sirens, out earlier in the summer.
Oh my, what an adventure this poem has had. I was responding
to an invitation from Nicelle Davis over on the Bees Knees blog to send her poems to take to New York. Nicelle believes in
letting poems roam freely and finds lots of wonderful ways of making this
happen using coffee cups, T-shirts, plant pots, the sides of cars - there are no limits.
She is also a reassuring sort of person to leave a rather
shy written-from-the-point-of-view-of-an-eight-year-old-girl-poem with. As her
blog says her hope is for poems to thrive. She wants her poem kids to play with
your poem kids. She wants them all to drink purple kool-aid together and climb
trees.
So my poem has not only been to New York but also to San
Diego – coast to coast no less as part of a red Poetry Flash coat together with
other poems. It sounds such fun. I am almost jealous having never been to the
States. I suspect it probably won’t be back any time soon but it may send a
postcard you never know.
