Today is my turn--lucky me! I spent a few days at a writing retreat with Teaching Authors Jill Esbaum and April Halprin Wayland, who generously helped me try something I've wanted to do for a long time: read a poem in rounds.
Here's our recording of Mary Ann Hoberman's "Counting-Out Rhyme" from The Llama Who Had No Pajama.
What fun! Thank you, Jill and April!

How fun! You did a GREAT job. Wish I'd been there, too. <3
I wish you had too, Carmela! Reading a poem in rounds was new to me, and FUN to do. We joked that we should've had an outtakes reel.
Yes. I would have loved to see the out-takes! :-)
Oh, how I wish I could have been there, reciting Mary Ann Hoberman's round poem with you three TeachingAuthors poets!
That is SO cute! You guys rock!
Thanks, everyone! I'm still giggling at the video. I wish you all could have been there--next time for sure!
WONDERFUL!!!!!!
Loved this! When do you go on tour?
Loved seeing all of you do this, & what a great poem to read together, & in a round, JoAnn. So wonderful to see and hear you!
So much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed seeing the 3 of you read together!
That is so fun. The round worked beautifully.
Thank you all! We certainly enjoyed the process! A tour sounds like a great way for all of us to spend more time together--we'll have to work on that!
What a fabulous video! I enjoyed watching it! Thanks for all your work on this one. :)
