It’s perfect kite weather here! Though I haven’t written much lately, I was glad to recently receive this copy of “Air Show” from the April 2025 issue of COUNTDOWN. The colorful art is by Caitlyn O’Dwyer. 🪁 #kidlit #poetrycommunity

Hello, new #PBParty friends! Nice to meet you here. I write exclusively in rhyme (in the #kidlit world anyway!), so we’ll see how the contest goes. 😬

This poem is from the Nov. 2024 issue of BLAST OFF with fun topsy-turvy art by Tohby Riddle.

Cheers to landing on our feet in February!

Happy to receive an honorable mention in Susanna Hill’s annual #halloweensie contest! The 100-word limit is always really challenging. Prompt words were goblin, tiptoe, and chill. Slime pie, anyone? 👻

Congrats to all the winners! #kidlit
