Telling it slant

I'm a first year teacher looking for a creative outlet--that is what this is. Granted..I'm creating this after many delirious hours of grading/browsing the web with little to no sleep. So, again, consider this an experiment.

My goal is to do some creative writing at least 1-2x a week (hopefully more!) There might be some stream of conscious writing in here, there might be some responses to the cheesy prompts I give my students, there might be some ranting and raving, there might be some sentimentality, there might even be a pony. Who knows.


This blog got its name from one of my favorite poets. Here's the original:

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant---
Success in Cirrcuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightening to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind---

~Emily Dickinson
