Poetry Friday, Week 26: Summer Poetry Swap

7/1/2021

This week  Laura at Laura Shovan's is hosting.  She's treating us to a monastery great poem and introduces us to Milicent Patrick. 


This week the mail delivered the second Poetry Swap from Janice Scully.  Janice and I have gotten to know each other from Poetry Friday as well as classes from Georgia Heard.  It was really fun to get these two poems.  I am glad that Janice joined the Summer Swap group.

Thank you for your delightful response, Jone. I wonder how a bug like a walking stick, came upon that certain disguise. Disguised as a person? . . . now that does sound interesting.

Love the playful back and forth conversation between these poems. How fun. Poetry Swap is one of my favorite activities. This one is a winner!

Walking Sticks!
Squirrels!

Only two #PoetryFriday creatives could dream up the idea to place the two together! Appreciations for sharing your summer fun.

How fun to have that conversation with a squirrel. I've had a few myself as they peek inside my windows!

Jone and Janice, what fun this conversation is! I love the walking stick's and squirrel's conversation.
The squirrel's disguise as a porch broom is perfect.

I'm laughing at your trio of squirrel poems because a squirrel visited me yesterday. Right on the rooftop -- inches outside my window. "Porch broom disguise" is wonderful in all its iterations through these poems.

The connection between these entities is well woven in your poetry exchanges. Who would have thought such a connection would come to exist? Well done Jone -and Janice.

I love the conversation between the walking stick and the squirrel and between your poem and Janice's! FUN!

How delightful to read a series of poems in conversation with each other! We see lots of squirrels on our walks - now when I see them I will wonder who or what they might be in dialogue with!

What a fun poetry swap. I think the humor is what makes the poem. All of them are clever. I can see that you and Janice found this swap an enjoyable experience.
