Apr29Poetry: Writing



I'm trying something new, taking a risk this month - participating in
#VerseLove with Sarah Donovan,
hoping to write poetry every day this April.







This month of poetry is drawing to a close. It has given me so much pleasure. Today's poetry idea is to share your writing process with the group - what steps do you take, to get ready to write?


Quiet.
Unless I have headphones, to make my own quiet.
I don’t need much else,
Except, of course, my notebook and a working pen.
Tea, is a plus, preferably green.
,
Particular, I am not, about where I write.
Lately I have been sitting on the cozy loveseat in the front room.
Even the dining room table works, there in the bright sun.
Also, I like to write in the spare bedroom upstairs.
Sometimes, weather permitting, I can write outside, on my porch.
Each of these places is great, and often I wander between them.

Quiet, please.

Apr27Poetry: Brothers



I'm trying something new, taking a risk this month - participating in

Today's poetry inspiration is from Anna J. Small Roseboro, who challenges us to write an acrostic poem about our brothers - be they blood brothers or just 'brotherly.' I luck out - having four brothers, whom I adore, makes this a pretty easy poem-writing challenge today.

Brothers

Brothers, four, me in the middle
Relaxing, no, but lots of giggles
Only girl, I solved their quibbles
Trusted all, except for tickles
How we played in sun and drizzle
Every day, little by little
Real time learning to be civil
Still great rapport, true and simple.

Apr15Poetry - Children



I'm trying something new, taking a risk this month - participating in

Today's poetry inspiration is by Margaret Simon, who challenges us to create an acrostic with analogies.


Children

Cherish is to children,
Hope is to dreams,
Imagine is to journeys,
Light is to sunrise,
Dare is to mountains,
Roads are to guardrails,
Explore is to wilderness,
Nurture is to next.
