While I work at sonnets and villanelles, I fear I'm more Seuss or Silverstein than Shakespeare.
It's time for a return to meter and rhyme. Poetry was thoroughly deconstructed by the end of the 20th century. I want to try putting it back together again.
When I tweet, it's usually a limerick (with some punctuation removed to make it fit).
Watch me tweet!

Justified Inc. : Teaching on February 16Thank you so much for volunteering your time to be an AP teacher. I really appreciate your help and time. It seems you have a lot of work with grading many assignments and I am amazed that you are willing to do that.
