woo hoo! I wrote 8 new silly poems for children on my poetry blog this week. What can I say? It makes me happy, so I reign in the kingdom of fools. I discovered this week that Beatrix Potter and I share a birthday, July 28. She was born more than one hundred years before I was, but I find myself relating to her life so often.
If only I could draw and paint as she did. I would love to illustrate my poems and rhymes. I've written more than 70 now and will begin collating a sample for publishers soon. I've determined to name my first storybook cottage 'Castle Farm Cottage', after Miss Potter's final home in the Lake District. Hill Top, the first home she purchased with the money from the sale of her first book, is perhaps her most famous home, but I confess, the name is a bit dull.
I hope to visit her estate after the publication of my children's rhymes. I long to wander the Lake District which has inspired so many poets and bards through the ages.
