Writing Day with Marty
Martha Silano took the ferry over yesterday for some quality writing time in the poetry barn (aka my writing shed).
5+ hours just FLEW by. I could not believe when it was time for her to take the ferry back home.
The hardest writing exercise we did was a sonnet exercise. Marty's was really coming along, mine included Cher and was a little funky.

What we looked like when we began...
What we looked like after 5 hours of poetry writing and talk!
(Oh the book I'm holding up, Adrian Blevin's The Brass Girl Brouhaha
, the book we used for the prompt line for our final exercise: "All the notable things that ever happened to me happened because..." from the poem "Generally Speaking." Try it, it's a good opening line--no wonder she used it.

We did go inside for a healthy lunch of chicken sandwiches with Trader Joe's mango chutney. Yum!
What fun!!!
