Beautiful Claudette. I love this...thank you for being here to contribute. I read this and it slows me down...thank you. (the magic of poetry I believe)
Jules, poets seems to be tuned in to a frequency the rest of humanity can’t dial into. I am glad you are showing the way. May your signal be picked up by many. Ever consider teaching poetry to youngsters who still are tuned in? Perhaps if exposed early to the utter beauty of poetry, they might retain that frequency as they get older. Enjoy your family weekend.....
Clark, funny you ask. I did do a couple free sessions with children last year but don't have any lined up for this year. I need to do that. Thank you for reminding me. We had a blast and it was a wonderful opportunity. Enjoy your weekend as well.
I am rain
Splashing on a window pane
Distorting colors, shapes of things
I am the shower April brings
I land upon
The dry, parched earth
That sucks me in
For all I'm worth
Into a root
I'm seeping, then
And travel up
Some winding stem
Into a rose,
Some nectar, I
Am lapped up by
A butterfly

We are everything....
Thank you for adding value here, Clark.
