Today’s inspiration came from Margaret Simon. Lanny Ball shared it on today’s Slice of Life post. I’m glad I ventured over to Louisiana to take Margaret’s challenge. I wrote a poem about me, inspired by her sweet “Peep Eye” poem in Bayou Song: Creative Explorations of the South Louisiana Landscape.

Denise,
I love how you took my prompt and turned it into this wonderful poem about you! Thanks. It does my little teacher-poet heart good. I’m with you on hand-soaping and ever-hoping! Keep writing!
Oh, thank you, Margaret. I’m glad you found it. Thanks for the encouragement too. I loved listening to you read “Peep Eye.”
I love this! I love how this reveals so much about you, and manages to have such a fun rhythm and rhyme to it as well. So nice to meet you!
Thank you so much. I’ve never had too much success with rhythm and rhyme, so that means a lot.
This is really nice! I love all the descriptions you chose! đŸ™‚ ~JudyK
Thank you, Judy. It was fun to write too. Having a mentor poem made it so doable.
I loved learning more about you today, Denise! Hugs!
Thank you, Joy. Hugs to you today from Bahrain.
