NOTE: The following was written and given to me after our festival. If you attended and would also like to make a comment, please reply in the Comments below.
My favorite part of the ROMP Poetry Festival was the letters that had the names of different authors on the envelope. I picked out James Wright and the poem inside was called “Beginning.” I really loved this poem instantly and found myself thinking that I needed to find a book of poems by James Wright. I found one on my Nook called The Branch Will Not Break. I plan to buy it when I get paid. The festival was very fun. I really enjoyed the scavenger hunt, but I wish I had a hunting partner. When I was by the tree looking for a clue, I heard a branch snap and thought it was scary. I am glad I went because I found a new author; it is hard to find something that excites me so quickly. The chocolate chip cookies were also amazing.
