Quite pleased to have a poem included in the Poems of the Week featured at @lightpoetrymag.bsky.social . You can read my poem below and check out the rest of the poems at lightpoetrymagazine.com#potw

The Guard Dog
by Shaun Jex

“Golden retriever brings toys to the intruder who breaks into his house.”
—The Associated Press

Not quite as brave as Balto
Nor noble as Roselle
Who did her duty faithfully
While walls around her fell

Not stalwart as old Stubby
Who served out in the trench
But thief and flatfoot both agree
This mutt is quite a mensch

I love this poem by Joshua Seigal, but it got me wondering: if you're a childrens poet, or teach writing to kids, what are the main reasons you hear that kids DON'T enjoy poetry? What do you think would help bridge that gap?

There's probably an app for death. Can someone just check and see if McConnell has logged in?

Getting asked for a review of a ball/strike call must be so humiliating for an umpire. They're going straight to your boss, and that boss is a robot.
