 Carol at Beyond LiteracyLink has hosting duties this week. She invites readers to reflect on the changes of the seasons.  She also invites us to share our summer poetry gems with her on her Padlet.

Today I'm keeping short this week.  A visual haiku inspired by hearing the first geese overhead this week.  I know the changes of the seasons by the geese and by where the sun hits on our windows

Are You Ready for Spooky Season?

Stay tuned! Did you have fun with Spring's Classic Found Poem Palooza? Next week, I have an invitation for another found poem spectacular palooza, spooky version.  Do you have a favorite horror or scary book, poem or story?  Maybe a Poe, a HP Lovecraft, Dracula or Frankenstein? 

On October 27, 2023, I will feature a Padlet with a Spooky Season Found Poem.  Stay Tuned.

Today's Poetry Friday host is Rose at Imagine the Possibilities is sharing the Nevermores" poetry challenge a reverse poem.

I am in the middle of Washington state with my longtime college friends (ones I met my freshman year). We have bee gathering for a weekend since 2003.

What is Hope? edited by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong arrived on ​August 18, 2023.

Sylvia and Janet hosted another fantastic class, Think Poetry this summer. The challenge? Photos for ekphrastic poems on the theme of HOPE.
This photo, a visit in a hospital was one that spoke to me.  This tanka (five lines; 5-7-5-7-7) arrived with little fuss.

Spiritual Journey Thursday and Poetry Friday, Week 35: Abundance of Grace

9/8/2023

12 Comments

 
Computer gremlins were at play yesterday as I attempted writing this post.  Was it as Patricia's SJT"ps title says: "Life at the speed of grace?"  Wednesday night I hadn't slept well. Grace was telling me Go. To. Bed. Plus, I was all over the map with this prompt.  How does grace meet me and how is it in my life?
One quote I lean on is "For the grace of God, there go I".  If you and I were sitting together, sipping tea or coffee, and if we were talking about our teen and young adult years, you would learn that grace protected me over some really dumb choices. (So GLAD there were no cell phones with the capability to record that period of my life!)

Thanks to Ramona, I was lead to this poem, 
 "Everyday Grace." at The Poetry Foundation.  This line resonated with me:

"...Suddenly an ordinary day becomes holy ground..." ~"Everyday Grace" by Stella Nesanovich.

Late August, I had my 
blood drawn. I walked into the little room, greeted by 'Aloha", the room decorated in a Hawaiian theme. The lab technician was from the Big Island.  As she drew my blood, I asked if she was affected by the Lahaina fire. She nodded, a great auntie perished. In that moment, I felt a shiver in my body, the shift, the day becoming holy.

we honor, 
welcome
in a hug
her new ancestor

Picture
This is the photo from this week's Wordless Wednesday, Week 35.

A secret heart, evidence of grace
A stranger feels safe sharing her grief
The bushtits have returned to the suet feeder
A friend confides about her struggles
Morning's coolness sends messages that autumn is arriving soon
Blood tests reveal I am in great health
​Grace abides



Please head over to Amy at The Poem Farm who is dishing up poetry advice.  I love her photo of the stones, having just played with some myself.
