Growing up there were always dogs in our family. But as an adult I never wanted pets. I always tell people: children and plants I am happiest with.
So yesterday i went to the NALIS library in Port of Spain to read my book 'The Naughty Angel' and conduct a haiku workshop with a group of children, who were happy to listen and to participate. There was joy shared.

masked faces listen -
a story read aloud to
eager ears and minds
its question time now -
hands shoot up everyone wants
to give an answer
let's write a haiku -
Enough words on the white board

I am sure the children would have loved your reading. Port of Spain sounds very exotic..conjures up pirate movies....I think you must live in a very interesting place.

Children write the most beautiful poems if you give them a little and mild push... and you do too! Hug from Holland.

Hi Gillena! Love your Rembrandt sketch! And it is wonderful that you are teaching children haiku. I wish I had learned to look at the world in this way when I was a child, so thank you! Have a beautiful weekend. Thanks for all that you gift us with!
