A month after 64 children's poets stepped onto a wild poetry-writing rollercoaster, only two are still in their seats. 🎢

No matter what happens these next two days, I'm pretty sure @hethfeth and Emily Weaver have definitely set the all-time record for "number of times poem marked 'Final' by two authletes in one match" ... they're making a run at 100

The final four poems are excellent, it was a tough choice to pick just one in each of the face-offs. Congrats to all the @madnesspoetry semi-finalists! #madnesspoetry

It is such a relief to be able to email my teacher contacts en masse without any (more) headaches. Took a lot to get to this point. Hopefully these more timely/advance communications will lead to a bit more participation now, and, with some planning, a big boost in 2025.

Maybe we can get some love from orgs like @PoetryFound @MerriamWebster @scbwi @ncte @aasl to help get more kids EXCITED (yes really) about poetry and language though Madness! Poetry 2024. It's not too late for teachers/librarians/homeschoolers to register! madnesspoetry.com/register
I've finally Finally FINALLY been able to overcome some tech challenges that have impacted my ability to easily communicate with teachers en masse. Very pleased to have just been able to send about 500 targeted emails w/o having to manually piece together the distribution list.
I cannot endorse a poem, but I CAN endorse a match! Read both Todd's and Jesse's poems and vote for your fave! It's a tough choice!!!
A memory from when my Dad passed several years ago of a daddy cardinal sitting at our window after all seed in the feeder my father loved to fill had been depleted inspired my R3 #MadnessPoetry poem.
So glad @MadnessPoetry gave me the chance to tell it💕 madnesspoetry.com/match/arch…

Words and phrases I Googled while writing my Round 3 @MadnessPoetry poem: “ballad,” “Captain D’s mascot,” “old people activities,” and of course “archetype” (a dozen times). For the record, I would love to learn Mahjong. 🙂
