The
world comes
together.
A brief moment
of total darkness
we celebrate the light
and hope we bring each other.
In a collective voice of cheers
my tears of wonder silently stream.
Thank you to the writers at Two Writing Teachers for creating this safe place for us to meet, to share, and to grow as writers ..read more

It is April, and I am going to do my best to join many others in celebrating National Poetry Month by reading, writing, sharing, and celebrating poetry each day. On April 8th we will experience a solar eclipse, and my hometown is the longest totality in the state of Indiana. We are expecting several tens of thousands of visitors to my town of 17,000. I thought it only fitting to write about sharing my sky with them.
My inspiration this month will be from the Teach Write monthly writing prompts. Yesterday's word was eclipse (of course!) and I created a found no ..read more

The Kidlit Progressive Poem was created by Irene Latham and is now being organized by Margaret Simon at Reflections on the Teche. A different poet adds a line each day for the month of April. This is my 5th year participating in the collaboration, and I am always inspired by and learn so much from the other poets who contribute, and I am grateful they let me play along!
Here are the lines from Patricia, Jone, and Janice.
cradled in stars, our planet sleeps,
clinging to tender dreams of peace
sister moon watches from afar,
singing lunar lullabie ..read more

Another March comes to a close, and I am reminded of beginnings and ends. Each finish line becomes a new starting line in races, in relationships, in life, and even in writing challenges.
The month of writing stories ends, and the month of writing poems begins.
The connections between slicers ends, and the connections between poets begins.
The words stacked in stories ends, and the words beating with rhythm and rhyme begins.
Looking for the small things in my ordinary day ends and looking for small things in the sky begins.
I missed five da ..read more
