The nature imagery offers calm, a tranquility we so desperately need in these uncertain days. I have an image of Gene Kelly dancing and smile reading “there is no bad weather, only bad clothes.” Yesterday we walked five miles along a section of the Snake River, and this week I’m hoping the weather is warm enough for a trek into the Caribou National Forest. If there’s one blessing from self-isolation it’s that it has pushed me to get out and explore where I live and the surrounding area nor, and of course I write poems in my head as I walk. Thank you.<br />—GlendaMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404917167112072640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8728867573837168357.post-89347376480831839972020-04-26T15:46:07.925-07:002020-04-26T15:46:07.925-07:00Laura, from Sarah Donovan's 30 Days of Poetry ...Laura, from Sarah Donovan's 30 Days of Poetry website:<br />Maureen,<br />I love your images and rhymes. I particularly love “silence in the rain, silence reigns” and “maybe Gene Kelly’s with you” and “the surprise of the heron, in the creek, standing and staring, and you, standing and staring.” I’ve spent more time over these last six weeks marveling over the nature around me and your words echo my thoughts.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404917167112072640noreply@blogger.com
