 East Fork Lewis River, WA The 2021 Progressive Poem stops here today! Last year, a very fun option was established: two lines given out, choose one and then write two more lines for the next person to choose. This year's poems has the threads of kindness and friendship running through it. And thanks to Janet F. or Janet Clare F. I ve gotten two wonderful and perfect lines: Option 1: Look for flowers, enjoy birdsong as long as we please. OR Option 2: Find a stream we can follow while we bask in the breeze. I bet based on the photo, you can guess my selected line. I was there on Friday so it's perfect. I’m a case of kindness – come and catch me if you can! Easily contagious – sharing smiles is my plan. I’ll spread my joy both far and wide, As a force of Nature I’ll be undenied. Words like, “how can I help?” will bloom in the street. A new girl alone on the playground – let’s meet, let’s meet! We can jump-skip together in a double-dutch round. Over, under, jump and wonder, touch the ground. Friends can be found when you open a door. Side by side, let’s walk through, there’s a world to explore. We’ll hike through a forest of towering trees Find a stream we can follow while we bask in the breeze. Now it's time for Susan Bruck at Soul Blossom Living to choose. Option1: Pull off our shoes and socks, dip our toes in the icy spring water or Option 2: Azure dragonfly's wings glisten as it hovers like a secret  2021 Kidlit Progressive Poem April 1 Kat Apel at Kat Whiskers 2 Linda Mitchell at A Word Edgewise 3 Mary Lee at A Year of Reading 4 Donna Smith at Mainly Write 5 Irene Latham at Live your Poem 6 Jan Godown Annino at BookseedStudio 7 Rose Cappelli at Imagine the Possibilities 8 Denise Krebs at Dare to Care 9 Margaret Simon at Reflections on the Teche 10 Molly Hogan at Nix the Comfort Zone 11 Buffy Silverman 12 Janet Fagel at Reflections on the Teche 13 Jone Rush MacCulloch 14 Susan Bruck at Soul Blossom Living 15 Wendy Taleo at Tales in eLearning 16 Heidi Mordhorst at my juicy little universe 17 Tricia Stohr Hunt at The Miss Rumphius Effect 18 Linda Baie at Teacher Dance 19 Carol Varsalona at Beyond Literacy Link 20 Robyn Hood Black at Life on the Deckle Edge 21 Leigh Anne Eck at A Day in the Life 22 Ruth Hersey at There is No Such Thing as a God-forsaken Town 23 Janice Scully at Salt City Verse 24 Tabatha Yeatts at The Opposite of Indifference 25 Shari Daniels at Islands of my Soul 26 Tim Gels at Yet There is Method 27 Rebecca Newman 28 Catherine Flynn at Reading to the Core 29 Christie Wyman at Wondering and Wondering 30 Michelle Kogan at More Art 4 All 4/13/2021 04:15:31 am
Ah, nice. Two enticing lines. Love the idea of dipping toes into the water of that delicious stream and yet, the dragonfly is an intriguing thing to see.

Of course I should have liked both my lines equally but I am so glad you went with the stream. Great idea to dip in your toes.....or maybe watch the dragonfly hover....hmmmm. Love your photo. There is so much joy to be found wandering in the natural world. Glad you were happy with the options I left for you! 4/13/2021 03:20:57 pm
Oh, nice. I have fond memories of playing in a stream - delightful dipping! But, at the same time & place, there are dragonflies everywhere! Great choices, Jone! 4/13/2021 03:40:58 pm
I have lots of happy stream memories, too. Great choice! 4/13/2021 08:12:56 pm
Thanks for giving me 2 fun lines to choose from! It's so much fun to see this poem grow. 4/17/2021 08:14:00 am
Of COURSE you would have a beautiful & fresh stream photo at the ready, Jone - looking forward to seeing whether we have chilly toes or a flash of dragonfly next.... 4/18/2021 07:34:40 am
Jone, your photo is so enticing that I can see why you chose it for the next thought. I am backtracking today to feel the flow of the poem. This will help me decide where to move forward with my day 19 lines. Your two choices will fill the child's imagination with more sensory actions. Which one will it be? 4/18/2021 10:21:19 am
Jone, did you want to add a comma after shoes, socks or leave it as it is? I am providing the line tomorrow and want to make sure your line is shown as you want it to be. Comments are closed.
