This week, our community poets claim their poetry, I give an update on my day with the brilliant and hilarious 7th graders, and you’ll hear two poems about loving fathers that give us our SPARK, and of course, there’s a rather daring DARE.

If you’d like to participate, please send me your poems (1-7: your choice) in the body of your email (no attachments, please!), to kate@katechadbourne.com by Saturday, April 20 at 5 pm EST.

Also – Please like the video, subscribe to my channel so that you’ll receive a notification when each new video is released, and share this Poetry Celebration with a friend. The more the merrier, and truly, all of this helps so much. Thank you!
