What is Unfurling Within You?

05spring by you.

Pour yourself a cup of tea and ponder this question.  Notice what the image stirs in you.  Then go visit this week’s Poetry Party, and savor the poetic treasures gathered there.  Then write your own poem and enter for your chance to win a prize!  There are several ways to enter and the drawing will be on Sunday.  Thank you to everyone who has been so generous with supportive comments for each other as well.

I’ll be at the Northwest Women’s Convocation Friday and Saturday with an exhibit table to talk about my work and sell my journals.  Please stop by and say hello if you are attending.  It will be an amazing time!
