Love May Be STILL be in the Air

         It's Poetry Friday, and Susan Thomsen is hosting HERE on her website, Chicken SpaghettiSusan shared a challenge last week on her post that you can read about here! And, so I wrote!




         I am excited to read what Susan and others have written, and this week, especially if they're responded to Susan's prompt! I haven't even read Susan's! 


I stop somewhere waiting for you

 

I believe that anywhere with you is grand.

The magic is that elsewhere is also true.

Whereas the stumper makes us continue to search

To discover if wherever will bring the magic 

Of everywhere for you?

Poetry Friday - Love Is In the Air!


        It's Poetry Friday, and Robyn Hood Black is hosting HERE on her website,  Life on the Deckle Edge! She's sharing some new creations from her Etsy shop and some advice to remember when living your days!  





          I so loved that prompt that Molly Hogan gave her Inklings this last week. You can read her post here! Each poem shared was delightful! So, I thought I could write one for this Saturday, Valentine's Day. I tried a number of things, even a reverse one, for hate, and was then inspired one afternoon as I browsed up and down my grocery store's holiday aisle. (They still have winter holiday things up, too!) I fell in love! (One remains open to ideas everywhere, right?)




      For Valentine’s Day

Suppose we gifted stuffies

Like parents, sweetly, lovingly,

Leaving no one out.

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Poetry Friday - Finding a Break

       It's Poetry Friday, and Molly Hogan is hosting HERE on her website,  Nix The Comfort Zone! She's sharing her own delightful poems after Wendell Berry's "Like Snow". You may want to try one, too! Be sure to visit to read them! 

         Thanks for hosting, Molly!


      It's been a week, full of little to celebrate, but I am trying to help where I can with the political storm filling our days. Best to all of you wherever you live, but especially Laura Purdie-Salas in Minneapolis. I saw your post about the protesting, and Randy and his group playing music for Alex Pretti. It was both beautiful and heartbreaking. Thank you and them for me! 



Warmed under the sun,

I watch crows hang out in my yard

Wheedling at each other 

To see where to peck
