However, its wait is over, finally found someone "who will stare and study and imagine" - you! Perhaps you should return to read the poem aloud and make its day! I love hearing what you're doing with your students, too, Tricia. How great that is!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-62250515832580740752019-03-01T10:30:10.953-05:002019-03-01T10:30:10.953-05:00Oh, I wish the camel could turn its head to.

The other day on Twitter, a bunch of museums decided to share images from sheep, I think? And then somehow, the Camel got included buy some Witt. And I, too, just thought that it was the most exquisite thing. So there, piece of porcelain!tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-50157132225485074872019-03-01T09:28:48.153-05:002019-03-01T09:28:48.153-05:00"I've got a thousand years on that bit
of..."I've got a thousand years on that bit<br />of porcelain, but they barely notice me" Fantastic! The voice of this camel, a bit snarky, but also intelligent and heartfelt, is lovely! What a great draft, Tricia! I love, too, the physical details you've worked in--the glass that would fog, the bags hiding the humps, etc.laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-3756665288488547332019-03-01T08:51:04.828-05:002019-03-01T08:51:04.828-05:00"I've got a thousand years on that bit
of..."I've got a thousand years on that bit<br />of porcelain" . HAHHAHA! Love the humor and the emotion in this poem. You may have written it just under the wire, Tricia, but it shines. And when I go to the museum (I will, soon!) I'm definitely giving this camel more than seven seconds of my time. Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225998457253574928noreply@blogger.com
