I'm sending this photo taken today at Spectrum Secondary School, where I poemed a class of Grade 11 English students. They are wearing the "I've been poemed!" labels, typically on all parts of themselves. They were a great audience, and the teacher was so inspired that she went off and "poemed" someone at Starbucks that afternoon!
The circle widens and deepens......

This is one of the almost 200 shots my wife Sandra took during our
wonderful day of poeming today. More to come. This was of Bill Bowerbank at the Charlottetown Fire Hall. I'm driving. We poemed a cruise ship, town hall, a couple of restaurants, an ice cream store, a shoe store, a framing shop. We had such fun. This morning we were photographed by The Guardian Newspaper and we had a fabulous interview with Matt Rainnie of CBC that was aired just after 4:00 PM on Mainstreet. What a great day.

Yours in vibrant poetry,

Hugh MacDonald
