Twaiku at Café at Gatto Nero, St. Johnsbury, Vermont

Great to gather yesterday with teen writers from St. Johnsbury Academy's "Writer's Block" - at the mellow Café at Gatto Nero. In the photo, teachers Conni Morse and Angela Drew move into "poet brain" as they explore what 17 syllables can do. The rest of the long table was crowded with student authors (and me!).

Here's a twaiku with its first line just one word -- a word discovered by one of the student authors. Fun!

Tredecillion
with forty-two open eyes
stop staring at me!
