 ©graphic by Amber Fleek Jan at bookseedstudio is hosting Poetry Friday today. Her remembrance of MLK, Jr. with lyrics from a famous song adds to my poetry offerings today. I'm writing a Daily Haiku and yesterday I wrote one about King, I think about visiting his monument and the powerful humbling experience. When I was looking at photos to include with the haiku, I found another haiku I wrote in 2018 when I first visited. The use of the word "good" gave me a tingle in wake of the recent tragedy in MN. I am reposting that haiku as well as my one from yesterday.  Written eight years ago. The meaning of the words stand and yet take on a new meeting with the murder of Renee Good.  Have we learned anything? I keep wondering what people like him would say if living today? Some good news...

This past summer, a word started tagging along with me, and had me purchase small and tiny canvases to create little pieces of art with hearts to give to people and leave places. A couple hearts were left in Paris by a friend, My 2026 OLW word is LOVE. For many years, I have photographed hearts in nature as signs of love in the world. And this fall The Clackamas County Arts Alliance accepted my collection, "Close to Nature’s Heart", showcasing hearts found in nature and inspired by nature with photography and mixed media art. Each piece will be paired with a poem. Some of favorite quotes found:

Catherine at Reading to the Core and she has a great prompt for this month's challenge. Write a poem after Mary Lee’s “December” poem. Catherine's January poem makes me want to scurry and write one. This has been a week of emotions. On Monday, I woke to Facebook news about a former parent and friend who passed away on vacation. Shocking! I've had some interactions with the world that just makes me be happy to be a human and know that there are good and kind people in the world. I finished with responding to copy edits on my book. I didn't get my OLW ready (next week). I took a mini break in not writing a daily haiku. But here are the three I wrote. Winter Poetry Pop-Up Salon: January 10, 2026 11AM-12 PM EST.
