WWWWWH: My name is Who What Where When Why How. Welcome, Jean Marzollo!

Jean Marzollo: Thank you, Who What Where When Why How.

WWWWWH: Did you ever write a poem about spring?

Jean Marzollo: Yes! It’s called HAPPY SPRING and goes like this:

WWWWWH: Oh-h. Pretty nice, I'd say. Where did you get the idea for that poem?

Jean Marzollo: From seeing daffodil stems poke through leaves in spring.

WWWWWH: Your Happy Spring poem is in rhythm and rhyme.

Jean Marzollo: Yes, it is, and that reminds me. Do you know what happens on March 17th?

WWWWWH: St. Patrick’s Day! What will you be doing to celebrate?

Jean Marzollo: I’ll wear green and give thanks to my Irish ancestors for giving me a love of poetry.

WWWWWH: Wait, is Marzollo an Irish name?

Jean Marzollo: No, it’s an Italian name. My husband Claudio Marzollo is Italian.

A NOTE FROM ELWOOD SMITH

"Jean Marzollo: I'll wear green and give thanks to my Irish ancestors for giving me a love of poetry.
WWWWWW: Wait, is Marzollo an Irish name?
Jean Marzollo: No, it's an Italian name. My husband Claudio Marzollo is Italian."

Two fine names for two fine people! I love hearing your voice against that kid's voice. Lovely.

I also love this simple, effective brown watercolor splash with the fresh, green bud peeking out.

I wonder why.
