Today in the poetry workshop: we made collages inspired by poems (I gave everybody a different "source" poem); the collages were then randomly redistributed so that everybody now has someone else's collage. For Tuesday: write a poem of your own inspired by the collage you got. (I took the source poems back so poets would not feel beholden or encumbered by them as they drafted.) Here's my collage.

I wonder if I might get a tree question answered by a MASTODON SCHOLAR. Or get a layperson-level reading? A living tree, a red maple I think, broke in completely half this winter in some big wind.

Why yes I AM working on a poem involving the Tree In Question, thanks!
