Your Embrace . . .

4/4/2023

Hello blog friends, I've another poem to share.

This week poet Colleen Chesebro invites participants to create a shadorma (3-5-3-3-7-5) to celebrate her birthday. As part of this challenge, she asks that we use three or four of the following words (my selections are in bold): scale, fish, month, soup, smile, sticks, slave, property, songs, bushes, rock, disease, shade, clouds, giants, spring, grape, books, polish, wing, approval, comparison, walk, front, or hot.

I hope you like it. Happy Birthday, Colleen!

Have a wonderful week enjoying plenty of embraces. ❤️

Your poem drew me in from the first line, and I realize I think like you think. To walking blindly into life - and taking it all in as best we can.
