Anyway, I adore your take on a child's portrait and hearing her restless, inquisitive thoughts. Also---I was a fan of The Mists of Avalon as a teen, too---it was like this secret look into the adult world where people acted really boldly and really bravely and really BADLY, too. I remember being fascinated. Thanks for hosting today!

Hosting a round up in National Poetry Month. That's a biggie. But, you've created such an inviting, welcoming and thoughtful playground for us today. I also am encouraged to use my spirit ear when you show us just how exquisite that can be in the poetry you are creating from portraits. Sometimes, the pressure of producing is greatest something "good", "worthy" etc. is from myself and I struggle to put that at rest. A spirit ear is a good way to think about doing that. I am a better reader, writer and lover of poetry because of your contributions.

I especially love the line in your Virginia poem about "God's one eye always watching." I imagined a safety pin before spotting the one in the image. <br />The link I shared won't go live for a few hours, but it will contain a brief poem I wrote, inspired by my co-blogger Esther's Monday post. I can't recall the last time I wrote a poem, so it was fun to give it a shot today.Carmela Martinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543808551988338496noreply@blogger.com
