of Poetry Friday

Once again, Autumn unfolds in brilliant color and poetic thought. There are many ah-hah moments to enjoy because Nature understands the need to nurture life. I am delighted to host this week's Poetry Friday.
RELAX and REFLECT
There is a nostalgic feeling and a breath of autumn in the air and carried into my home. As you browse through my blog, you will most likely agree with me that:
If you have followed my blog each autumn, you will find Autumn Galleries of Artistic Expressions that I created. Many Poetry Friday authors offered their original image poems and photography to delight gallery guests. I honor all the writers and poets who shared their work integrating the arts, technology, and poetry. You can click on the titles of the underlined galleries. It's my Halloween treat.

Another treat is the debut of Janet Wong's and Sylvia Vardell's book, Clara's Kooky Compendium of Thimblethoughts and Wonderfuzz. Janet and Sylvia have created a unique anthology of poems from a 150 poets. I was delighted to have one of my poems, Would You Like To Bake?, published in this amazing collection. Each set of poems includes an interesting ThimbleThought and a wonder question, WonderFuzz. Students will enjoy the illustrations by Frank Ramspott and the exercise journals. Since I recently received my book, I will review the book soon. Then, I will send it off into the universe of KidLit. You will enjoy getting kooky with Clara. Thank you, Janet and Sylvia, for creating a book that will dazzle students, classroom teachers, and families.

Poetry Sister October Prompt
Write a poem in which you literally build and/or take apart something for your reader. Focus your attention on constructing or deconstructing your object, taking into account technical terms, instructions, perhaps even the source of your materials.
I created a quick trinet poem sequence about constructing a spooky but fun scavenger walk through my house for my grandgirls.
Halloween spirit
Floats in.
Boxes of decorations will mesmerize grandgirls.
Scarecrows, costumes, ghosts, create fall magic.
Spirits unleash.
Scenes created.
Spooky ambiance!
Ready for
Halloween party?
Not yet, where's the orange light?
Who'll stack boxes in the garage?
Crazed search.
Weekend hunt
Trickster's treat!
