Yeh! It's Poetry Friday!

            Poetry Friday's party today is at Jama Rattigan's Jama's Alphabet Soup.  Be prepared for laughter and chocolate chip cookies. Sounds great to me during my usual stay-at-home time, Jama. Thank you for hosting!


         



           Since April and poetry month, I've been struggling to find some new goals for writing. I am enjoying the #PoemsofPresence group on twitter and those who have also been writing for Margaret Simon's challenge on Today's Little Ditty, but it doesn't fill the time like my April work did. I am working on a picture book idea, but that too does not fill the day. So these recent days I've turned to the ABCs and alphabet books, enjoying the ones I have for their creativity and their awesome differences. Each approach can be a story or stand-alone letters and the illustrations are ones also to linger over. 
          Thus, I've worked this week on abecedarian poetry. These two seem to reflect my moods throughout the days, worry over the times we're in, and trying hard to look on the sunny side of life. I may find some other themes for these. If nothing else, they are a vocabulary challenge! Best wishes for goodness in each of your days!

          Here's a pic of some of my favorites. Do you recognize any? Do you have one or two favorites?

As Beauty Comes, 

Debuting Every Forgotten Garden, 

Heaven Is Just Knocked Lower, 

Managing Newest Overflow Passing Quickly –

Random Salvage,

Tortured Undercutting,

Vast Wasteland Xenophobic,

Yearlong Zoo.

Zoo-Cams
