"There is an echo for poetry..."



Sure feels good!  I entered the Poetry Friday Anthology for Middle School (PFAMS) giveaway, and the quote I chose got me a free copy of this book:



It arrived today, looks great, I cannot wait to read it.  Check it out, especially if you know a middle schooler, or two; or if you’re interested in writing poetry for that age.

Thank you very much, Sylvia and Janet!

And thank you so much, Petr, your thought on poetry brought me luck:


"На поэзию есть эхо: где-нибудь и когда-нибудь оно откликнется на её голос".

Вяземский П.А. (1792-1878)

Here's my English translation: 

"There is an echo for poetry: somewhere and sometime it will respond to her voice."

P.A.Vyazemskiy (1792-1878)

Julie, this was so much fun!  Best of luck with your book.
