But then I ended up doing a wordplay poem instead. I still want to try an In One Word poem...at some point. Don't know where the weeks go! Your poem is so powerful and fills me with both shame and inspiration. So many hugs to you with all you're doing at school and all you're advocating for in the world.laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-20281179901801822972020-09-05T22:23:47.036-04:002020-09-05T22:23:47.036-04:00Heidi, it was interesting to see your process in y...Heidi, it was interesting to see your process in your videos.
