It's Poetry Friday, and Carol Varsalona is hosting HERE at Beyond Literacy Link. Earlier in the month, Carol gave us a challenge. When we read all these HeartNotes, I think we'll feel as if we're receiving hug after hug after hug! Thank you for hosting, Carol!
💖 I'm hosting next week on Valentine's Day, hoping you might enjoy sharing a favorite love poem, really anything about love in your life.
HeartNotes
Here's what Carol wrote:
"I invite all to create a love note, valentine, poem, digital artwork, etc.
I will create a padlet, titled HeartNotes for interested writers. Join me as I honor Valentine's Day, a love-note to the rest of the year.
(Jo Lightfoot)"
And here's mine! In September, my husband will have been gone for twelve years. He is always in my heart. I'm going to share something silly, but for those who have said goodbye to loved ones, I imagine you will have a story like this, too. I miss him on birthdays, in Christmas traditions, and in other little things in countless ways. He always, always unloaded the dishwasher! Te he, a minor habit in our lives, but whenever I now unload it, I miss him, and I remember other things he did, for me, for us!
Love does not stop blooming,
sprinkled with tender care.
Even on the daylong days,
Now, without you there.

More love came in my mailbox these recent days – beautiful postcards from Margaret Simon, Molly Hogan, Mary Lee Hahn, Mona Voelkel, Joyce Uglow, Jone Rush Macculloch, Robyn Hood Black, Gail Aldous, Tabatha Yeatts Lonske, and Tricia Stohr-Hunt. Thank you!
I'll share a few at a time in the future so that you can read and enjoy all the spectacular creations!
