I love this! My cousin turns five today. :)

Cute! We all seem focused on February ... or rather, on leaping past it.

Love this, Greg. Too funny.

My grandfather used to tell us about his uncle, who died when he was 14 but had a wife and 5 children. Your poem brought it back for me - thank you for that gift!

Love it Greg! This is a DOUBLE good year for leap year babies turning Sweet 16....its also their Sgt. Pepper Birthday..."Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When i'm sixty-four."

Sweet!

jewoebLove it!
We need lots more silliness in this world.
You've performed a much needed service for mankind!

Love this one. Clever, and great rhythm. Thanks!

Yes...
You,
my dear!
VERY bad!
Off the list this year!
And makes old Santa very sad...:-(

Welcome back! You've been missed. :o)

I for one am up for anything and everything you learned (not all at once, you gotta space it out so that we'll all keep coming back to your blog, of course...). While you have a mix, I think, of authors and booksellers among your readership (bloggership? Sounds like some kind of sci-fi sleeper spaceship...), among the authors I think many of us are always up to understand more of the publishing side of the biz.

Aaaaaaand...you're off!!!

Can't wait to read your always wonderful poems for the next 30 days straight.

Great start! Kids and husband are giggling at our house...thanks!

Hi Greg,

How is Digger holding up in your household?

I gave you a shoutout on the disco mermaid blog.

Sold my picturebook to Putnam about he Coney Island Mermaid Parade, you were in LA for the omens that occured along the way towards the sale. Just finished my art deadline. May 08 release.

How are you?

Melanie Hope Greenberg

Melanie!!! Good Morning, Digger has held up very well, thanks. How could it not?

Congrats on hitting the art deadline... and being almost within a year of publication on the Mermaid Parade book. Very exciting, indeed, and not just cuz I was there for the omens (and for the Mermaids at their finest).

Gregory,

I love your poem-a-day idea for National Poetry Month. I am going to join you in posting thirty original poems in April at my brand new blog, Wild Rose Reader--which I just launched this morning.
I plan to post my first poem this evening.

Happy Poetry Month...and may your muses be with you!

Yo bro,

Thanks for that plug! You Rawk!

Loved the poem , tee-hee.

Yes, Disco Mermaids winning the gold was one of the omens along the way. The DM appear in the book. You were at Ground Zero bringing me luck, thanks. Working with Tim Travaglini, he's the best, got the bohemian vision right off. Have met so many mermaids and neptuines on this journey. Big time fun.

Regarding Digger.........thought your son would have moved on by now ;-)

Awesome poem, Greg.

I'm not posting original poems (something about cows and free milk always comes to mind when I consider it), but I will be doing poetry-related postings every day again this year.

In honor of Poetry Month, I posted my first ever poem -- a Fib of course. What an outstanding creation you have devised. I am sure there will be more to come.

1 down, 29 to go. Very nice!

Way to go, Gwen! And Elaine, I'm happy you're joining me in the nuttiness. I suspect Wild Rose Reader will be a daily read long after April is over....

Excellent start, indeed! Can I post it on my blog with a link to yours?

Sure, Cat... as long as my name stays as author, too!

Hilarious!!
