Sep. 17th, 2004 08:58 amI realized last night that I don't have to run my poetry group like the other writing groups I attend. Mine can be more like a workshop. This realization made me very happy. Especially when I considered that I can't actually make money at this yet, because I don't know if I'm an effective teacher. But if I can do this well for a while, maybe I could make money at it sometime in the future. I need to find out if I can instruct.
But I'm more than happy to teach people about poetry for free.
I think I can pull it off.
This is going to require more preparation than I'd initially planned. But that's fine. I went to the library yesterday and checked out several books to help me lead the group, to give me ideas for exercises and such.
Dedication and preparation. I can do that.

Sep. 17th, 2004 09:19 amFirst Lady Heckled by Mother Whose Son Died in Iraq
Wearing a T-shirt with the message "President Bush You Killed My Son," Sue Niederer of Hopewell, NJ, screamed questions at the first lady as the audience tried to drown her out by chanting, "Four more years! Four more years!"
She pressed on, refused to leave and eventually police removed her from the firehouse rally.
The first lady finished her speech, praising the administration's achievements in the war on terror and the economy.
Outside, Niederer said she wanted to ask Laura Bush "Why the senators, the legislators, the congressmen, why aren't their children serving?"
She went on to blame the president for the death of her 24-year-old son, Army First Lieutenant Seth Dvorin. He was killed while trying to defuse a roadside bomb that exploded on him.
"My son was in the Army, and he was killed February third this year," she said.
As the Hamilton police and Secret Service agents surrounded her and reporters pressed her with questions, she held her ground, claiming "I had my ticket" to attend the speech by the first lady.
Police subsequently handcuffed her and she was led away to a nearby van. As she was escorted, she repeatedly shouted "Police brutality" and demanded to know her rights and the charges.
Later, she was charged with defiant trespass and released.
