Happy Poetry Month!
I'm taking the advice from the poet who has given so much to help us all, including students and teachers, write poetry. I'll be moving from A to Z, obviously needing to combine a few to make it all come out to 30. FYI—Sometimes, Paul Janeczko offers a prompt to write a poem that begins with the specific alphabet letter instead of a poem type. It will be fun to be open to writing in all kinds of ways!

This is Day 20, a word that starts with T - tree
Did it snow yesterday and continue this morning just for my poem? I don't know but it really is serendipity that it happened!
Overheard on A Snowy Day
Hey, we’re growing up.
We’ll never be as big as that cottonwood.
No, but our branches flourish.”
Have you noticed more birds visiting?
And we’re still part of the gathering.
They help us underground, don’t you know!
Yes, I’m grateful for all those older trees around.
Their chatter when it’s snowing makes a pleasant day.
We caught a lot of snow this time, good for a big drink!
I’m glad we’re together, too
in our own cozy corner of the world.
Growing old together makes a good life.
Yep!
