I'm so  excited!!    My poem, "Easter Butterfly," is in the April issue of Highlights!

The poem originally included the symbolic connection between the emerging butterfly and Christ's resurrection, but that part got taken out and put in a side bar instead.

I want to express my huge gratitude to Vijaya who played an important role in this good news.

Thank you, Laurel, Robin, and Julie! 

I wanted to mention I discovered BlueBoarder Sara Matson is also in the April issue. She wrote a wonderful article about a girl who grows garden produce for the homeless. Congratulations to you, Sara, if you should happen to be reading this thread.

Wahoo! Huge congrats, Ev. I'm happy dancing for you. And yay for your help, V.

I'm glad I added a bunch of butterflies to the Blueboard...just in time to celebrate with you.

 
Huge congrats to Sara, too!

Thank you Julie. And congrats to Sara! I'm looking forward to perusing the entire issue.

Congratulations! I enjoyed your poem. My own poem, "How High Is The Sky,"  is in the same issue (with less real estate than yours). It's always a great feeling to be published in Highlights.

[Ev Posts: 4,495 Status: Offline Making learning fun! WWW]

Congratulations, Robert!!  What fun to have so many Blueboarders in the same issue.

I like your poem very much.  It's a very clever question you pose in it.

And thank you, Mindy, for providing the butterflies!!
