Poetry month and a magic treasures workshop

It's been a busy month.  I am so happy to be part of 30 days/30 poets for children here.
It's an American site and I'm pleased to be the first guest Australian poet.

Always good to reach out to a new poetry audience.

I also took a day work-shopping and talking the writing journey to the little town of Beulah in the Mallee.  Here are some amazing boxes the 15 children in my afternoon session made and filled with lines of a poem aimed at showing how details matter so much in poetry.
