Happy Friday,
I'm away from my desk today. Responses from me this week will be slow...but I'll get to them.
A lovely poet from Laura Shovan's 9th annual February Poetry Project shared a call for poems for an anthology about octopuses. I want to send a poem. But, I don't know much about octopuses or other cephalopods. One of my favorite websites, The Smithsonian Institution, was a help to get started:
What a neat document to find poetry in! I fished (haha) through lines of text for phrases in 5 and 7 syllables lengths. From those lines, I found some haiku. And, I was able to form questions that led me to more information in other places. Fun!

Do you want to find out more about submitting to the octopus and other cephalopod anthology? Here is the link for more information. Happy writing!
See a new poem on padlet.
