Chapters

of the book Reversed: A Memoir and a Literacy Problem Solver, sharing the love of poetry. And this week it's from Jack Palutski's Monday's Troll. And listen to the language of this one, Chitterchat. You may now make my acquaintance. I am famous Chitterchat, my old witch's dear familiar and a venerable cat. I am steeped in ancient wisdom. Rich in elemental lore, though my witch knows much of witching, I'm replete with volumes more. I'm no doddering Grimmlincoln mystified by skeins of yarn, or some simple-minded mouser chasing shadows in the barn. I'm no sulker in an alley culling bones for bits of fish, and no pampered portly feline lapping from a porcelain dish. I've but little time to trifle with such Stuff as wool and mice, for I'm sworn to guide my mistress and provide her with advice. If my witch omits essentials, I discreetly show her how to conduct her incantation. It just takes the right meow. Thank you. Hit like, hit subscribe, grab a copy of Reversed: A Memoir, and I'd love to see a review. Thank you.
