As much as we did miss Professor Dwyer while out on medical leave. We did get the opportunity to be introduced to a substitute that took us on a slight detoured journey that ended up in a magical place. Marilyn McIntyre introduced us to an exercise in drama that gave a new outlook to poetry. Again, another alternative to the written word. This was when she had us act out a haiku. The experience was really great for me as a poet. I now think about what I write and try to visualize the poem as well as write it. It has been very good practice and has made my poetry better. KUDOS to Professor McIntyre. (She is a wonderful actress also!)

Haiku! Drama, not a sneeze! Professor McIntyre
