An American sentence
Due to COVID-19, my child started grade school without her teacher.
What’s an ‘American Sentence’?
Allen Ginsberg, inventor of the American Sentence, felt that the haiku didn’t work as well in English. Ginsberg decided to remove the line structure of the haiku, maintaining the requirement of 17 syllables total. He felt that removing the line count freed the American Sentence up for the idiosyncrasies of English phonemes.
The requirements:
- Composed in one line;
- Syllabic, 17 syllables;
- Condensed, written with no unnecessary words or articles;
- Complete sentence or sentences;
- Includes a turn or enlightenment.

Mask, vax, distance… what is so hard about it that causes people to be unable or unwilling to do it??! How can children learn without a teacher??
🤷
Strange times indeed. Will there ever be a normal again? (K)
*sigh*
don’t say that 😦
(I agree with your sentiment)
Perhaps we were always deceiving ourselves.
We’re living odd times and children might think this is “normal”.
*sigh*
Oh…sad times.
quite. But her teacher is at school today (finally) for at least part of the day, and she should be back full-time next week…
Good news! 👌🏻❤
She didn’t did she – I thought all was right?
She has had a substitute teacher since the beginning of the year. Her teacher finally returned just today (after the Jewish holidays) – and not for the entire day.
O, that’s a relief, I thought she was on zoom.
