Practical Resource For Teachers

Posted by Jo Murphy Sep 25, 2006

Mentors often advise teachers and writers to practice their craft daily. Some find it hard to remain motivated when so many other distractions and demands cry out for their attention. Others find they are motivated and eager but for some reason their muse is blocked.

If interaction with others and certainty of friendly constructive feedback sounds appealing please join in. Inspiration comes when people construct areas of serendipity. Synergetic spaces in the hypersphere can be fertile inspirational wells of energy. Images and word pictures begin to flow.

Enter the game!

Today I have revisited and old friend down on the shoreline where I take my Visual Journal for my daily poetic meanderings. As the slow old wandering Brisbane River carves its way through the South Bank Parklands my silent companion sits quietly watching. Everyday the scaly, thorny, horny silhouette remains erect and alert while joggers jog and runners pantingly plod past.

There has been a friendship of sorts develop between us. A kind of teasing game we both willingly play. I sneak towards my mate who waits. I approach as my friend tenses and as I ease forward ????

Enter the game!

If you have a relationship like this one (as bizarre as it may seem.) I invite you to depict it in your favourite medium. Email it to me and I will post it here for you. Or if you have a blog of your own perhaps you could post the poem or drawing there and invite us over. We can arrange Track backs as a way for readers to stay in touch.

Yours in anticipation!
