Hello! It’s Poetry Friday, and Heidi is our host for the round-up this week. But, before you go, I hope you read some of my most recent poems. Thanks for hosting, Heidi. You can find a link to her page at the end of my article.

Please read my accompanying post on Medium.com
Also, here is my Earth Day post:

Here is my poem from today, partially written in my head when I was driving through the countryside to the eye doctor’s office this afternoon.

Lastly, I spent some time this week taking my first Highlights Foundation webinar on non-fiction picture books. I was relieved (ashamedly, so) that there was no networking in this class. Yes, you can respond in the chat or to the Q and A, but it is a format just to provide oodles of information. It also lets me watch leisurely and take notes. I’ve only gotten through a fourth of the presentation, but have gleaned some useful information. I see myself taking more of their courses in the future.
Now, please visit Heidi’s blog for the round-up: https://myjuicylittleuniverse.blogspot.com/
I’m looking forward to the warm weather, flowers, and mushroom hunting that come in May.
