#NPM17 - Poem 30 of 30 - Nature's Joke



          There is not a particle of life which does not bear poetry within it. ― Gustave Flaubert

    See all the poetic events this month in the sidebar.  
   It is exciting to see the Progressive Poem come to a close. It's been an adventure every day! See the final line from Laura Purdie Salas HERE!

 My goal for Poetry Month: TINY THINGS.  

 Here's a wordcloud of the thirty topics I responded to in poetry for this April. Some I had thought of early; some surprised. Because I also post with other different memes during the month, I tried to connect to the theme of those memes in my poems. For example, when I posted book reviews on one day, my poem was The Letter 'A'. I tried different forms, but really chose the form that seemed to fit the topic. It was a good month of writing.  

        Special thanks to all who commented and often shared a connection to the topics. I appreciate receiving the responses. 

        I created a haiga for this final post. You can find more about that as it connects to haiku here.

             I hope that you can see the difference in the picture, but the haiku, to me, shares that these two "things" are not the same. One is very good to eat; one was shaped by nature's forces like wind and water.

    So much to love in your tiny poem today. Nature's humor and your snow! Body and soul nourished - Sunday dinners and sabbath worship. Thanks for an introduction to a new form!

      And thank you for the nice words, Ramona. This month was a great exercise and challenge for me. I enjoyed finding new ways to look at 'tiny things'.

      Thanks, Amy. I believe I've formed a habit of noticing those 'tiny things' this month.

      Thank you. I found the rock a long time ago, and it sits on a shelf, our family joke.
