About
What if your kids begged to play with words and ideas, because it was so fun?
'Tom is a magician with words, a sorcerer with challenging ideas, and an all-around excellent poet.'
Kids and teens love ideas from left field, a play on words that makes them giggle and stretches their creative language skills.
It's very hard to describe this series until you read it because Get Your Wordsworth is (as far as I can tell) a new hybrid model of illustrated poetry-prose which combines an old art form with a few modern alchemic twists and tweaks. It is these hitherto unseen and highly unorthodox bolt-ons (newspaper style title and sub-title, an original hand-drawn high quality sketch for each story plus a personal author note) which I believe give rise to this far more accessible (though admittedly less technical) twenty first century verse.
Overall, I call these ever so artful one page hodgepodges, medleys, melanges or potpourris fast blasts!
I'm sure you will have your own version. Other fast blast type descriptors include...
casual poetry-prose
poetry-prose fusion
laugh now, think later verse
micro poetry-prose
illustrated micro fiction
poetry-prose mash-up
rap traps
one minute super shorts
playful poetry
cheeky poetry chunks
little book of laughs
