Poetry Friday - Postcard Joy

 It's Poetry Friday, and Margaret Simon is hosting HERE on her blog, Reflections on the Teche. She's sharing two beautiful poems that encompass both joy and sorrow, a journey in all our lives. Thanks for hosting, Margaret!

created by Linda M.

   You all know of Jone's idea, which began years ago of sending postcards for New Year wishes. This year, the Year of the Dragon, was a theme for some. Those I received were created with gorgeous art and special wishes for living the year! I am grateful to each of you for those lovely pieces that came in my mail! Thank you, Jone, Denise, Gail, Linda M., Margaret, Molly, Robyn, Michelle, Carol V., Tabatha, and Mary Lee. (You will need to click to enlarge in order to read some.)

Thanks, Carol!

Thanks, Gail!

Thanks, Jone!



Thanks, Linda!

Thanks, Margaret!

Thanks, Molly!

Thanks, Robyn!

Thanks, Tabatha!




         Margaret included a 
quote that will inspire all the year! 




I am a rich woman!

  5. Linda, it is always so intersting to see how my poet friends showcase their trreasured postcard poem. Your layout is fabulous. Thank you for sharing my mail to you. I always enjoy our poetry chit chat. I hope the weather is mild by you. It seems so peaceful here that is hard to believe we will receive a storm tomorrow morning. The winter chill is on. I just turned on the fireplace and see the tree branches are doing a left-right dance as I sit here and read the PF posts.

  7. Thanks to everyone for checking out my wonderful mail, some of it from you! I've been all over the place today, grabbing groceries and working a little at the bookstore while waitng for snow this afternoon. It's getting darker and darker, but nothing falls from the sky yet! Carol, I wish I had a fireplace, but I love that you're sitting by one! Keep cozy, everyone, no matter the weather!
