Poems from July

In retirement, I'm sticking to the classroom routine that enabled 7th graders to produce poems that surprised them and delighted me. The 7th graders themselves are a subject in this month's poems. As always, images by artist Susan Rouse complement each post. One of those is included here. Here are my poems from July posted to my blog First Verse, plus one about a morning last July:

• Angels Never Know true heaven
• Dear 7th Grade learning in a pandemic
• Wingtips a grandmother's magic
• Atlanta, Sunrise Saturday dramas glimpsed on Freedom Trail by a passing cyclist
