          I'm continuing to write haiku and haiku-related poetry this month. See my latest below. 
           I'm also happy that some of us are sharing on twitter with the hashtag #DigiPoetry, created by Margaret Simon, of Reflections on The Teche.You're welcome to join us. Find the many Poetry Month offerings rounded up by Jama Rattigan at Jama's Alphabet Soup.  



       For me, busy at school, busy in the rest of my life, writing poetry is a gift, a relief from all the other thinking I do, about my family, school, my home, my car, my garden, the neighbors, the street, appointments, etc. But when I sit down to write, all that falls away, and I am immersed in words. It's a good slice of my life.

         Other slices of sunshine are my grandchildren, Carter, Ingrid and Imogene.  Today, Ingrid is six. I am reminded of that AA Milne poem about being six. Do you know it?

Now We Are Six - A.A. Milne

This is the ending:

But now I am six, I'm as clever as clever;
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.

ALL of the poem is here!

That's six year olds, Ingrid too. Happy Birthday, Ingrid!

Baby Ingrid, about one!
