Thanks for this mini lesson! I have lately found a new appreciation for poetry - not having ever really studied it (and despite some horrible teenage-angst poems I used to write, as we all did, yes?). I have felt intimidated by the form and didn't always understand the structure (again, I probably should have studied it - and may do so more, now!). Now that I'm reading more of it, I'm loving it.

Yeah! I'm so glad you enjoyed the lesson and that you are finding a love of poetry now too. And yes, I definitely have some teenage-angst poems in my pocket (lol!).

I love the word "enjambment!" and the pictures of your adorable dog! As a former teacher turned doctoral student in clinical psychology, I am looking forward to following your writing!

Aw, thank you so much! I feel honored to have you follow my writing. :)

And how awesome that you're getting your doctorate in clinical psychology. I just love connecting with teachers, post former and current. Such great people!

Indeed! I am grateful for my years as a teacher and the ways I think it has prepared me to be a therapist and researcher. So excited to have connected with you, Miranda!!
