I'm sure my neighbors think I'm crazy, as I'm often speaking lines or phrases, listening to how the rhythm and meter are working. Thank you for these fabulous posts, Tricia. I've learned so much from you and all the great poets you've interviewed.<br /><br />CatherineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-55115969768370746482009-04-24T19:34:00.000-04:002009-04-24T19:34:00.000-04:00In my bed at night alone without tv or distraction...In my bed at night alone without tv or distractions is the perfect time.<br />quelleheure4[at]gmail{dot}combloggytreasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703882887313031644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-17858911546768664982009-04-24T18:26:00.000-04:002009-04-24T18:26:00.000-04:00I teach kindergarten.

I hope they do.<br /><br />My favorite place to write poetry is sitting beside water--pond, lake, ocean. Preferably with not TOO much wind. Some activity going on around me is fine, as long as it's not incredibly noisy. A little sunshine...ahhhh.laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-19764843474000855952009-04-24T15:20:00.000-04:002009-04-24T15:20:00.000-04:00I love to write poetry on a warm spring day under ...I love to write poetry on a warm spring day under the Hackberry tree with my yellow labs, Annie and Maggie lounging nearby.

I've not quite embraced the habit of carrying a notebook everywhere I go, so I guess you could say my favorite place to write poetry is in my head. Stanza is a great name for a dog. I'll soon be getting a puppy and Jill Esbaum's book has inspired me to consider a poetic name for my new puppy.Bridget R.
