Greetings, Poetry Lovers!
Just a wee haiku over here today. This one appears in the current Frogpond, Vol. 41:3 (Fall 2018), though somehow my name was left out of the index this time. But the poem's in!
open gate
the way
my mind wanders

I remember when I was in my first job after graduating college and getting married. I was an editorial assistant/publications secretary at the seminary where my husband was getting his first grad degree. I wasn't the greatest secretary, that is FOR sure! But I did love to write. Sometime before I left to try newspaper writing (where I found out I was terrible at the news part, but good at features....) my boss said, "You're a bit of a dreamer, aren't you?"
Well - yeah. I'm more pragmatic at this stage of life, but still a bit of a dreamer!
Here's to dreams, and also to the belly-real comforts we all wish each other at Thanksgiving. And wishes for healing for those in the midst of trauma right now, in California and anywhere.
On a ligher note, if you'll be doing any Cyber-shopping over the Thanksgiving holidays, Etsy is cooking up a sale for Cyber Week November 20-26. I'll be offering 10 percent off shop-wide at artsyletters on Etsy, with reduced or free domestic shipping (depending on order amount). While you're on Etsy, check out the lovely offerings over at fellow Poetry Friday-er Michelle Kogan's shop, too!
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. I'm so very thankful for our Poetry Friday community, newcomers and old friends alike.
I'm especially thankful for our amazingly generous and talented Linda, who is hosting the Roundup today at TeacherDance. She's even got a special giveaway today - told you she was generous!
