Students - I am away in Boston, Massachusetts at a conference (NCTE), and so I am writing to you from a hotel room. The lint brush you see above is the one I used to remove white dog hairs from all of my dress up clothes for the weekend. I am a busy girl this weekend, and I was not sure to write about. But when I got a few minutes to myself in the hotel room, I knew that I had to remove all of the (Sage and Cali) dog hair from my black clothes. I even bought a new lint roller!
And therein lies the poem. Dogs. Dog hair. White dog hair. Black pants. Lint roller. Memory of a wonderful book (THE LITTLE BIT SCARY PEOPLE by Emily Jenkins). Poem.
The joy of writing for me is once again this. The surprise.
