Graphic design by Amber Fleek

It's Poetry Friday and  Michelle at Michelle Kogan is hosting us all.  I always love when Michell hosts, her art is incredible and today she shares a very interesting  article.

I've been working on some little art projects.  I found some quotes about snow and winter for golden shovels.

Silent Salsa
the moon could be breaking apart
        -Linda Pastan
        From Blizzard

A starry, brittle night. The
snow-people gaze at the moon.
The snow-people wonder how they could
dance a salsa on snowfields and be
festive without music breaking
the ice fields apart

I think Linda Pastan is a poet whose work I want to read more.

Still Time to Sign Up for 2023 New Postcards

Won't you join us? Sign up for the 2023 New Year Postcard Exchange.  Send five, send ten or send to all. Did you know there are 23 days until 2022 ends? Woohoo! Let's celebrate the New Year with a New Year Postcard? In Japan, it’s called Nengajo, a Japanese custom of ushering in the new year.​How It Works:

• Choose to send five, ten postcards.
• Create a postcard:  you can buy a postcard and write a poem on the other side or you can create one postcard to send to everyone (I use Walgreens or Zazzle)
• Once you get the names, send by February 1, 2023 (during the Chinese New Years)
• If you choose, you can work in the Chinese animal for 2023: The year of the Water Rabbitt. It is not required.

THIS SATURDAY!!

We have 12 poets reading and there will also be featured artwork from several artists in various slideshows.  
Here is the reading order.

Sign up here to attend.
