ReplyDeleteI'm a little partial to your Earth Day poem. I suppose my days of late have been enjoying the hope that seems to be popping up all around. You follow so many interesting communities. I enjoy hearing about all the connections you make.
ReplyDeleteCathy, thanks for joining me here. With the move to my new home, I am planning my garden beds that need to be made. Hence, a spotlight on the earth is one of the thoughts popping in my head.
DeleteI'm so sorry it's taken me all week to get here, Carol! I love both of your poems. The quote that inspired your first poem is new to me. There is so much truth in those wise words. Thank you for your reminder that "hope seeds the earth." Lovely!
