I've been working on my fear of mushrooms for a while now. I had some that I actually wanted to eat more of (yes, yes I did). My first time at Muss & Turner's, in July, is where I found them. Once I finally moved down here I went back.
It took me until October, I've been busy. They didn't have them on the seasonal menu (bravery went back in my pocket).That week I had taught found poetry in my classes.

Don't teach what you don't do. So this is what I did: I made a found poem from my journal. I took one, random, word from each daily journal entry between when I was first there and when I went back. That's a sentence a day between July and now, more or less. I need to thank all of my students for putting this bug in my head.
(I had the cheese plate. They put together a goooood cheese plate. And kids, if you're reading, yes, that is a series of pictures of me drinking ONE cocktail. Do Not Drink and Drive and Do Not Dare think of drinking underage. Seriously.)
I had concerns about if I should tell my students what I had done to my journal. Still uncertain about that part. I hadn't done this before. My fears of mushrooms and public poetry--it's a two in one blog post! This poem is, obviously, called "Mushrooms." (full text at bottom)
Note: Muss and Turner's has not approved this poem. I, however, do approve them as my favorite restaurant here. Go eat all their foods.
