Oh Deb, it would please me a great deal to have you dip into poetry with a few of these poems.... let me know where you land. And thank you for putting Luci's name and mine in the same sentence--she's an inspiration!

I look forward to it! My mom was/is a beautiful poet. I have been uncovering boxes with scattered meanderings and dearly remember how she wrote poems to my children on most of their birthday cards over the years. I love looking at her books on the old famous poets.

I personally have a thing for Mary Oliver's poetry. I am working on a piece that comes through one of her poems. I just need to take more time with poetry!

Oh, your mom's poems sound like a treasure. And I can see how Mary Oliver would inspire you.... send me what you write! (and stay tuned for an online poetry workshop in 2024!) heyjode70{at}yahoo dot com.

Oh how I love love love Luci. And Malcolm! I will look into the other poets. Advent = poetry for me because it’s the surest way I know to slow down.

That's a great equation, Lisa. Advent=poetry, yes!

And I agree, Luci and Malcolm are my top two favorites.

Isn't it a delight? He started it during lockdown in the U.K. in 2020 and has continued it since.
