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 ©Jone Rush MacCulloch I think Linda Pastan is a poet whose work I want to read more.

Snow people dancing to Salsa music...my childhood dream come true! Beautiful art, too. 12/9/2022 06:16:54 am
Oh, that collage is fabulous! And a lovely golden shovel. I have a silly dancing snowman poem, not as mysterious as yours or Linda's, at https://www.laurasalas.com/writing-for-children/poem-titles/ 12/9/2022 06:59:17 am
Jone, your collage is such a dreamy one with a poem to dazzle a winter night. Congratulations on the upcoming reading. Unfortunately, I will not be available to listen to the online reading. Best of luck and thank you for the Poem Exchange again this year. 12/9/2022 08:20:02 am
I like Pastan's poems whenever I see one, Jone. This is a delight & an apt 'wondering' by those Snowpeople. Could a salsa heat things up too much?

I love Linda Pastan! And I love your snowman poem with her line as your striking line! 12/9/2022 10:34:33 pm
Great post Jone! I love your collage, the snow-people and poems, all so lively, I can feel the movement, thanks! 12/10/2022 07:38:56 am
This collage is awesome! And I can't wait to do the postcards! So fun! 12/10/2022 02:48:01 pm
Snowmen and salsa! Now there is a poetic pairing! And the artwork accompanying the poem is gorgeous! Thank you, Jone! 12/10/2022 02:51:15 pm
Howdy, Jone - I hope the reading went wonderfully! I'm sorry to have missed it because of a schedule conflict. Love your playful post today - the little collage has so much movement in it! And what could be more fun than salsa-ing snow-people?! 12/10/2022 02:53:32 pm
PS - I hate to miss the New Year's swap this year, but we're in the midst of a local mini-move getting our house ready to list, before the bigger move in a couple-few months. I'm barely treading water at the moment! xo ;0) 12/12/2022 03:14:44 pm
I love the snow people dancing. They must be some resilient snow people to be dancing the salsa without melting away. Great image! 12/13/2022 05:59:01 am
Your golden shovel is lovely, Jone, and those sweet little snowmen! Comments are closed.
