It is an honor to have some of my words included in your poem. I have to tell you some other poet gets the credit for "threads of moonlight glitter." I did not write that beautiful line. In your poem these lines especially spoke to me "Threads of moonlight glitter / Sooth the frantic world. / Summon your songs. / Rest in the purple shadows of the night." I love your "may your successes reach the clouds in the year of the Tyger!" This was the first time I participated in the postcard exchange, and I loved it! Each postcard brought joy and continues to bring me joy. Thank you for beautiful postcard! I love it! The lines that especially spoke to me from your postcard are "A cloudberry sunset peeks in/ Providing time to pause/ Reset possibilities/ Evening invites moon dancing." Thank you for your inspiration and joy.Gail Aldoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444221924693333224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587706174618725555.post-45437128981169096502022-03-06T08:38:25.977-05:002022-03-06T08:38:25.977-05:00What a way to honor the postcard gifts you receive...What a way to honor the postcard gifts you received!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587706174618725555.post-61081609621897052102022-03-05T06:28:55.893-05:002022-03-05T06:28:55.893-05:00How wonderful!

I imagine the words written by the sender of the postcard could lead to many imaginative writing prompts. I wonder how many people still send postcards.arjehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793113101077660894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587706174618725555.post-79977691266234404942022-03-04T21:17:50.689-05:002022-03-04T21:17:50.689-05:00Collecting old postcards is such an interesting ho...Collecting old postcards is such an interesting hobby!

How reverent of our words to create something beautiful of your own! Thank you, again! (I didn't realize that part of the exchange was highlighting the postcards received, so I haven't do this yet.) Do you think it is reasonable to still do so? I've kept them all in a bowl in my living room! ~ Carol ~Carol Labuzzettahttps://theapplesinmyorchard.com/2022/03/03/poetry-friday-reviews-of-poetry/noreply@blogger.com
