Happy Poetry Friday, everyone! Tomorrow is one of my favorite holidays–St. Patrick’s Day. Maybe it’s because St. Patrick’s Day is close to my birthday, or maybe it’s because I make mounds of fried cabbage (no one else likes it but me!). But really I think it’s because I like to make little green foot prints around the toilet bowl and dye the water green. I always get a kick out of my daughter being indignant that a leprechaun used our bathroom.
To celebrate, I am sharing another Shel Silverstein poem, The Search. I just finished reading Where the Sidewalk Ends to the kids and I love how fun reading his poetry aloud can be.

I also have a bit of good news! Two of my poems that I wrote back in October for my Poetry Inktober challenge are being published by Spaceports and Spidersilk magazine later this year. I am especially excited because this will by my first time being published. So hooray for that!
Also, Donna over at Mainely Write piqued my interest in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge that starts in a few week. I am really excited to do my theme reveal this coming Monday, so be sure to come back and see what I have planned.

Many congratulations for your coming publications, Rebecca. That's a wonderful birthday gift, isn't it? I love hearing about your joke with the kids and that tricky leprechaun, a new one for me! And Shel Silverstein is always fun. Thanks for the poem to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Enjoy your day & your birthday, too!

Thank you. I have a goal this year to get 100 rejections, with the idea that if I can get that many no's, hopefully there will be a few yes-es sprinkled in too!
