SOLSC2020 6/31: Poetry Friday

Thanks to Two Writing Teachers for providing space and March challenge for writer

Thanks to Rebecca at Sloth Reads for hosting all the Poetry Friday goodness.

I met with my panel: Janet Wong, Sylvia Vardell, and Susan Blackaby this morning to finalize our presentation for #AWP2020. Janet always knows the great hideaway places to eat. NOLA didn’t disappoint. I’ve been listening to mockingbirds (Texas State Bird) and grackles all week.

​NOLA

day begins
sleepy blue house
warm beignets
and coffee,
fried green tomatoes, a side
of praline bacon
between bites, poetry spills
onto plates
for later
northern mockingbirds
sing in trees
