Blossoming Ink


Hi everyone! I'm Franchesca Alamo, and I live in Houston, Texas. In May of 2010, I visited my old elementary school and gave a presentation on the beauty and power of poetry to a group of second and third grade students. And I was forever changed.

Blossoming Ink is a program begun by me in which I attend local schools to present my own work, to invite students to write their own poems and explore their own creative talents, and to present educators with more information about the Poetry Society of Texas Student Awards, which honors hundreds of Texas students every year. I gave this program its title because I believe that poetic talent is a seed that will not grow unless it is nurtured and loved, and I want the seeds of students all over Texas to blossom into beautiful flowers and mighty oaks.
