Happy April! Today is the first day of 30 days of #verselove poetry writing with Dr. Sarah J. Donovan's Ethical ELA. I'm very excited! I participated in this writing community for the first time last April, and I remember being so sad to see the month end. Writing poetry together was the healing balm I needed during the beginning days of pandemic. So, I am not hesitating to join again this year, and I look forward to all the learning I will do.
Today's inspiration is by Stacey Joy, who encourages us to write a shadow poem. She offers the following process:

Perhaps you might ponder the mystery of shadows in a room. The possibilities are numerous, so avoid the rabbit hole and pick 2 or 3 to inspire your writing.
I was surprised by how challenging my writing was, and I hope it is just being 'rusty,' winding up at the start of 30 days. My simple poem belies the thinking that actually is behind it! Ah, well, here it is:
