we honor the vets
democracy protectors who walk among clouds flags flutter under blue skies never enough gratitude  Welcome to Poetry Friday. There is SO much happening. And some my fault as I took two weeks away from posting. First, all the poetry magic is being rounding up by none other than Christie Wyman at Wondering And Wandering. A HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to Christie as she has completed another journey around the sun. Hooray. And it just so happens I have a little surprise for her in the prize announcements below. Second, I do have some announcements about giveaways after the MAIN EVENT which is to honor #MarvelousMaryLee. Main Event: #PoemsforMaryLee, #MarvelousMaryLee In October 2007, I was a lucky person to meet Mary Lee at the first ever Kidlit/YA blogging conference in Chicago, IL. Her blog, A Year of Reading was one I read each week and looked forward to the book and poetry connection. Poetry projects each April, poetry swaps, commenting on poems, haiku, and thoughts about social justice to give her students agency, Mary Lee may be retiring but I imagine her legacy is long-lasting. I am so excited for your new chapter, Mary Lee. May it be rich with roads that are unexpected and magical. So glad I have gotten to know you through poetry. Here's to the journey. The following poem is cubed and found. I looked through your poems of the past year and gather words to write something in honor of you. The photo is from last weekend in the Redwoods State and National Forests, norther California  Announcement, Announcement, Announcement!I have four book prize packages to send to four readers from the April Giveaways:
