I missed posting yesterday. I have been traveling and yesterday was a busy day. We’re in Buffalo New York, not for the eclipse but to visit my sister and my sister-in-law. We have just come from spending five days in Brockport, a little town outside of Rochester, New York where my Dad lives. I visited…
Happy Poetry Friday, Friends! This week saw considerable progress on the upcoming new anthology Picture Perfect Poetry: An Anthology of Ekphrastic Nature Poetry For Students.

This is the second in a series of poems I’m writing on how trees wear snow in the winter. How a Cedar Wears Snow My branches called boughs Are bending low, in a frown Snow came, fast, wet, and heavy Making my boughs bow down Leaning over, I look sad Under the weight of the…
Happy Poetry Friday to all participants in this welcoming and gracious community of poets! Today, I’ll review the other poetry book I was gifted from Sarah Grace Tuttle and also, one I received in the mail, entitled Feel The Beat by Marilyn Singer. I’m afraid I do not remember which blog or Twitter feed I…
