Poetry Friday! April's challenge was to write a poem in response to a vintage photograph. I chose a photo of me and my mom, not knowing that she would pass away this week. Love you always, Mom.

Poetry Friday! We're sharing wordplay poems today. They all begin with the line "____ is a ____ word." These poems are free verse, and celebrate (or bemoan) the joys (pains) of one word.
Mine are about my old nemesis, February. Join us?

Anyone who visits me in DC will be prompted to visit the glorious Library of Congress, marvel at rare books in the new Folger Shakespeare Library expansion, play all day at Planet Word, sip a gin and tonic at The Betsy, and grab a bagel from Call Your Mother. I love my neighborhood.
Poetry Friday! With my poetry sisters, we wrote poems inspired by Jane Hirshfield’s “Two Versions.”
I chose the line “All night awake things traveled near.” Join us?
