Didactic Corner

Hello Poetry Lovers Today we have a didactic poem. I love giving out instructions, even better if it can be in a poetry form. A very loose one admittedly.

Lovely and talented poet Trisha Broomfield certainly has andContinue reading “Alphabet Christmas”

Christmas Corner….

Happy Thanksgiving
