Poetry Friday: Celebrating Twilight
It's Poetry Friday! I'm celebrating twilight with our host for today, Marcie Flinchum Atkins, in celebration of her new book, When Twilight Comes. I was pleasantly surprised that my preorder arrived early. In this beautiful book, Marcie brings the sights, sounds, plants, and animals of dawn and dusk to life through her lovely lyrical language. I especially enjoyed how she connected the two twilight times in just one spread:

Poetry Friday: Welcome Spring
I’m ready for spring, but it hasn’t arrived. Not yet. -from ”Walking to Indian River” by Mary Oliver Photo: One lonely crocus in my front garden This time of year, thoughts naturally turn to spring. And looking back on my Poetry Friday posts in late March, I almost always write about spring. Here’s a nonet I wrote last year but didn’t share here.

...it's time to start thinking about things related to the new year. For me, that's setting some intentions, choosing my OLW, and recording my first bird of the year. So, Happy Poetry Friday and Happy New Year! I started thinking about my one little word a few weeks ago. I pondered a few possibilities and had almost settled on "perseverance," but it didn't feel exactly right.

It's Poetry Friday! Last week I talked about attending the wonderful Poetry Palooza at Highlights. The Highlights Foundation Retreat Center is nestled in the Pocono Mountains in northeastern PA.

Inspiration comes in waves for me. I can go days, weeks even, without a single idea that seems worthy enough to pursue. And maybe that’s the problem – too quickly dismissing ideas before they have a chance to nestle in and take shape. So, I’m trying to reset my mindset - listening more, noticing more, nurturing more. One morning this week I went out to fill the feeder and noticed what looked like smoke rising from the squirrel baffle.

It's Poetry Friday and today I'm sharing a couple of the cheritas I've been writing during April. Last week I was taking care of my grandkids, but I did manage to write each evening before the exhaustion of the day took over. The first one is in celebration of Earth Day using the word "ebb." Giving Thanks Wonder wanders at the edge of the sea.

Poetry Friday: Progressive Poem Day 11
It's Poetry Friday and also my turn to add a line to this year's Kidlit Progressive Poem. But before we get to that, I'll share a cherita I wrote this week as part of my April poetry project. My inspiration came from the word "astonish" and the unusually cold weather. Is It Spring? Daffodil woke astonished to discover frost on its bloom.

Today’s cherita using “astonish” Daffodil woke astonished to discover frost on its bloom. Just some April foolery from Mother Nature before Sun smiled.

Today’s cherita using the word “tumble” We all know Jack fell down the hill And Jill came tumbling after, Except for today when Jill stood her ground Voiced concern, and Didn’t blindly follow.

Poetry Friday: A Few Cheritas
It's Poetry Friday! My April Poetry Project is to write a cherita each day in April. I'm mostly using the Verse of Ages word prompts for inspiration but also leaving myself open to others. Here are three I wrote this week. #1 Word prompt - chaseTwo squirrels chased around the tree – ran up and down,peeked in, peeked out.

Poetry Friday: Word + Cherita = A Poem a Day
Welcome to Poetry Friday! Since it's almost April, I've been thinking about a poetry project for the month. Although I write a lot of free verse, I also enjoy the challenge of a form. Sometimes it's just enough to spark an idea or provide some needed structure. I recently used the cherita to write a small poem for Vivian Kirkfield's…

Poetry Friday: It’s Spring!
It's Poetry Friday! It's Spring! And the roundup is here! I'm very happy to be hosting today. In honor of the start of spring, I'm bringing you a few of my favorite spring poems. One of the first poets whose work I became acquainted with was E.E. Cummings way back when I was in college. I read and sometimes memorized many of his poems.

Poetry Friday: A Few Pi-ku
Happy Poetry Friday! I'm celebrating a couple of events that are happening today. In addition to being Pi Day, there is a total lunar eclipse occurring in the wee hours of the morning. In a lunar eclipse, the moon passes through Earth's shadow. Sunlight going through the edge of the atmosphere on either side of Earth gives the moon a reddish glow.
