Fee, fi, fo, fum! I’m looking for the giants of the tech industry in Santa Clara County and am offering this beanstalk: Whichever company can get both their CEO or other significant corporate leader and a minimum of 5 employees to respond to the Favorite Poem project first will be the site of the first Santa Clara County Favorite Poem Read-in to be held sometime this fall and featuring your employees and other local readers. Creative minds think alike, and that’s my point. What poem has made a difference to you somewhere along the line? I’ll leave the submission door open until the end of next week, June 3, to see whether some giant will rise to the challenge. Don’t let that other tech giant get there first.
Pass this on to anyone in the industry. You never know what might sprout from one little bean.
