Poetry Friday: Such Sadness and An Invitation

9/22/2020

Thanks to Radio, Rhythm & Rhyme for hosting Poetry Friday.

Today was a day that I should have written my post earlier in the day. I have this poem about smoke and ash in my head that is figuring itself out. I was going to work more on it until the news at 4:50 PM which announced the passing of Judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg. I am gutted. What more 2020, what more? I have no words.

From my trip to Washington, DC in 2018

My invitation is to stop by next Friday, September 25 when I host Poetry Friday. Consider a poem about bravery or a math story problem.

NATIONAL MATH STORYTELLING DAY #MathStorytellingDay is September 25

A little history. It was created in 2009. It’s a day to tell stories using math.

The fourth Friday of September is #NationalBRAVEDay. September 25th is that Friday.
This began in 2017 to uplift and honor the women who make up feel brave.

How about the theme of poems that tell a math story or honor a brave woman might be fun.

Need help with some mathematical poetry types?

PLUS…I have some VERY EXCITING news about the latest collaboration from Janet Wong and Sylvia Vardell. PLUS a GIVEAWAY or TWO!!

Hi Jone,
I share your shock and sadness. And I appreciate your prompt for this coming Friday--math and brave women and fun poetic forms. I'm thinking about what I'll write!
