April - Poetry Month - Day Thirteen 'This Jar'

It's April. It's Poetry Month!  

         Remember to check out the list of what everyone is doing at Jama Rattigan's blog: Jama's Alphabet Soup.

          And check on the Water Poem Project where every day, a poet is sharing a prompt connected to water, hosted and created by Laura Shovan!

Plus! Check each day for the added line to the Progressive Poem, created by Irene Latham, now hosted by Margaret Simon! The link is above and the graphic to the right!           A leap with the theme of CIRCLES for poetry month, poems & small sketches. I am looking forward to reading everyone's posts. I'm sure I will love each one, knowing they're done during a time we've not lived before. I am worried about so many, those close and those far, my community, too.

This jar keeps memories (and buttons):

an old wool coat I snuggled in,

summer sundress with flowers –

knew I looked pretty in,

ragged pants, split knees –

those I biked in,

rhinestones shined

at prom,

mine.
