I’m honored to be featured as a guest poet on @moses_brian’s blog. Thank you so much, Brian, for giving me this opportunity to reflect on my poetry journey & share some of my children’s poems! 💚 & shout out to @CarlBurKids for letting me include one of his poems in my post! 💜
New Guest Poet on my blog: From Portland USA, Stefan Karlsson. Here I am, the purple cow. They say no one wants to be me. And on top of that, somehow no one seems to see me. Read about Stefan and explore some of his poems here: https://t.co/1RVVTYZ9Sn

An astonishing 495 visits to my blog already this morning. Could even beat last week’s record day of 732 visits. Must be whole classes looking at it. A big thanks to all my poetry friends who have donated material and helped me make it such a success. https://t.co/1RVVTYZHHV

People write children’s books for all sorts of reasons. One of the best ones I’ve heard of? To help kids with hair loss, after losing your own hair in a battle with stage 3 ovarian cancer. Jean Paetkau (@snufflewort), you’re an inspiration.
