Greetings, Poetry Lovers! I've missed everyone the last week or two as I was traveling for my annual (completely crazy) week of author school visits as part of Cobb EMC and Gas South Literacy Week north of Atlanta. Always great to catch up with folks there, and the dozen or more of us authors end up seeing between 20,000 and 30,000 kids in those five days. I had 22 presentations between Monday and Friday. Whew! But thrilled to share the poetry love.
Today I'm sharing a couple of recently published haiku. I couldn't help featuring the adorable picture of my daughter, Morgan, and their precious little one, Sawyer. He made an awfully cute pumpkin for Halloween. The first poem was written when I was with them this summer, helping out during his first month.

And this one, well - I guess it speaks for itself.
