Yesterday, Lanny Ball shared, Margaret Simon’s, author of Bayou Song: Creative Explorations of the South Louisiana Landscape (University of Louisiana at Lafayette, 2018), blog where she offers a format that leans on creativity and word-play. I couldn’t resist her invitation to play with poetry. This is Slice Challenge, Day 25.

problem-solving
project-starting
forever-evolving
sort of human
Reflections from a Coach 
I love how you took Margaret’s format here! So fun to learn so much about you in so few words! Thanks for sharing this 🙂
Beautiful — I read it as I were walking, each phrase another footfall …

Love this – and all true!
Your title tells me a lot, this is your daily routine. I, too, am avoiding housework (and yard work). Thanks for responding to my prompt.
Your blog was so inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to try this with colleagues and students.
I love how slicers continue to share ideas from one another. Margaret is such an inspiration for poetry and Lanny wows me with his descriptive small moments. And now your poem has my writing brain abuzz. Thank you all for being shoulders to lean on and creative minds to lean into!
I love this! We can learn so much about you from so few words. and we have a lot in common based on this song! 🙂
I learned so much about you in this poem! I love the format…I will need to try this out myself. 🙂
This is a format I would like to try, so thanks for putting Margaret Simon’s inspiration into action for more to see — including me!
This is right up your word-smithing alley
Love it! And the best kind of human!
