Hey, guys! May I share your creative work on the Twin Hills Facebook page? If the answer is yes, please email me with your own email to me to let me know. If it is okay to post anonymously, that's ok, too, but would love to have your names. Thanks. And Happy Friday!

Limerick from 8th grader Caleb, with the three-phrase prompts from Tuesday:


Three Random Phrases Poem


Sticky raspberry yogurt, 
Oh how much I like thee,
But the thought of a ripe apple,
Makes me much more happy.


I hear the sound of Marcie’s feet, 
It will drive me away,
Because if she cannot eat you,
She will be extremely angry.


I sincerely do hope to achieve,
To eat some raspberry yogurt,
I might have tried to steal it all,
But Marcie is just too alert.


I wish that Marcie would be reasonable,
And let me have my share,
Even if I’m a vegetarian,
She really doesn’t care.


I reluctantly give up my quest
To eat some of that yogurt,
Marcie will not budge at all,
But my stomach really, really does hurt.


So I guess I’ll have an apple.


MORE TO COME!! KEEP WRITING! KEEP SENDING!! THANKS FOR DOING!

About Me

Sebastopol, CA
After many years as a newspaper reporter and writer, a job that I was lucky enough to love, I got my English teaching credential, hoping to pass on to kids how to find their unique voice and clearly communicate what they think and feel. Public school educated in Philadelphia, college in New York City (Barnard College), transferred to and graduated from UC Berkeley in English and received a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University. Yay, my son, my student in 8th grade, is now a Cal alumni, too, a 2017 graduate with a degree in computer science, now working at Google (You Tube) as a product manager. William Faulkner is one of my favorite writers, as well as Anne Lamott, Langston Hughes and many of the nighttime, satirical comedy shows. On my top bookshelf sit Nobel Prize winning writers Toni Morrison and Orhan Pamuk, along with friends who have won Pulitzer Prizes in journalism, who started writing in junior high or in writing groups in Sonoma County. Go public education in California!
