Tanita at {fiction, instead of lies} hast hosting duties this Friday. Head over to her post and find out about the September #poetrypals challenge, the Definito, created by poet Heidi Mordhorst,

And Heidi is sitting in my living room today (her son is attending my alma mater here in the Portland area). It so fun to have her visiting.

Poetry Friday, Week 33: Summer Poetry Swap from Denise Krebs

8/18/2022

Welcome to Dave who's hosting at Leap of Dave.

I highly encourage the Poetry Friday community to participate in Tabatha's Yeatts poetry swaps. She does a winter and summer one. A few weeks ago, I received a lovely envelope with these two poems. I love writing about the birds in my neighborhood so these were fun to get. And having been to Denise Kreb's neck of the woods (or desert) last September is was great to see the landscape again. Denise was kind enough to include crocheted dish rags (which remind me of the color of the hummingbirds), tea, and dark chocolate.

My response:

summer explodes with life
hatching nests and sipping food
thanks for the moment

Poetry Friday, Week 32: Poetry Swap Star

8/12/2022

Head over to Margaret at Reflections on the Teche and wish her a happy birthday. She's hosting today. She was greeted with a rainbow for her birthday and has a poem from William Wordsworth.

Summer is for Poetry Swaps

When I returned from my travels, this swap was waiting for me. Linda Mitchell outdid herself with this "Junk Journal" which is more like a piece of art. and for me, a mentor example to create my own junk journal about Scotland.
