I read a poem today Which made me think of opposite things instead of winter ice and cold I thought of young girls after a science lesson looking for pollywogs and little critters in water bugs, and that enigmatic name Species And as we held our long blonde hair back with one hand, we peered over little pools of water, searching with wide eyes Finding in reflection the difference between today and tomorrow. © 1-26-13 KRJ |

Thank you, JL. I'm getting ready to give a workshop at a local university this week, and felt the need to say I had written at least ONE poem this year. I have three classes to prepare for, and am looking forward to this challenge! I've been a month on "haitus" - Finding my space between my old "work life" and my new "retarded, er, retired life". I didn't want to push myself back into poetry...but today felt like a good day to find my pool of poets again. Thank you so much for blessing this with your eyes. |

It is always good to reflect back on the innocence that was us before the world changed things and us with it, Karilea. I thoroughly enjoyed this reflective poetry and good luck on the workshop, I am sure it will be a smashing success. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Sunshine, I too am glad you read a poem today, and gladder still you "penned" one! Makes me curious as to the inspiration. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

"A Little Shiver" by Barton Sutter, which I received courtesy of my connection with The Writer's Almanac that I receive daily in my email. Thank you Virginia! It's been a long time! |
