The Journal of Trisha De Gracia lack of poetry :(

Arg, I feel very poem-deprived. I've got 2 kids aged 6 and 13 (the 13year old has a bit of a maturity problem) for 2 weeks and I'm multitasking by writing this and helping Dominique (6) do her reading. It can be more than a little frustrating, especially considering these kids are cooped up in an apartment in Vancouver all day long. They've never been camping. Miguel has no real friends because Daddy dearest of his keeps him like a pet. Dominique is very sensitive and cries alot. Don't get me wrong, they're wonderful kids, when you let them stretch their wings a bit. I'm so glad thety';re here for 2 weeks. I didn't think I would be, but I am, because I think they'll get an experience here that is so different from their experience at home, and they'll be without cloystering parents. But I'm having poetry withdrawls. I've got alot of words bottled up inside me that are banging on the walls to get out, but I just can't function poetically with a little beside me whining that she doesn't want to read the poem, lol. Anyways, toodles...
p.s. Still thinking about the Canada day thing at Merral (sp?) Lake... how will I get there? when? Do I wanna go? hmmm.... I am currently Detached
I am listening to "rrrrr...rrrrrriiii..... rrrriiiight? Does it say right?"
