A few weeks ago our amazing school librarian hand delivered an amazing picture book to me while I was eating lunch.

Me, not so good. And the first graders in my care, they take a sideways route. Today’s Verselove prompt was about instructions for writing poetry. That made me think about the way students often start with energy and ideas that seemingly evaporate just when it’s time to begin \[…\] ## [Interrupted: NPM26 #27](https://thinkingthroughmylens.com/2026/04/27/interrupted-npm26-27/) _2026-04-28 · kd0602 · Thinking Through My Lens_ After a day of serious, serial interruptions, Dave’s Verselove invitation was to write about…interruptions.
