Today is one of my favorite days – my “baby” sister’s birthday! And I’m missing her.
I remember this day the pictures was taken, a quick Easter picture before heading to church, reaching out towards mom’s pink and purple roses near the driveway.It was a mild spring day in San Jose, early morning,
Strange how photographs hold sounds and scents, emotions ... And wonderous.
Today’s prompt is “baby sister” …
It’s a week until April, National Poetry Month, and the start of many Poem-A-Day (PAD) challenges.The countdown has begun …
I will also be participating in the NaPoWriMo again this year; I’ve already submitted my site!
I’m going to start looking to see who else is offering events this upcoming month!
And a short announcement … I have a few readings coming up soon and this is one of them/ Among some of the poems, I will be performing that day will be pieces I wrote specifically about Gaiety Hollow during 2016 & 2017’s Write The Town events. I will be second on the docket.
I identify myself as a Pacific Northwest poet. I have been writing poetry since 1976- and yes - I have been using the pen-name Ariel all this time! I can often be found writing in the Willamette Valley, in Pacific forests or along the Coastlines on Oregon.
