Oh my goodness, what a wonderful time at Highlights! More on this next week, once I've had a chance to unpack. Old friends, new friends, adventures, inspiration, delicious food, fall...my heart is full. :)
I didn't do much writing while there, but wow, on the (14 hour) drive home, I voice-recorded many many many notes, breakthroughs, and new ideas. I'm excited to sort through everything and share more.
I don't know what an ostrich has to do with Highlights (or anything), but I did tackle Picasso's drawing as the latest in this mini-series as part of my ArtSpeak: Animals project.
Actually, now that I'm reading it again, it's kind of exactly where I am in my writing life as described above! Ha! How our poems reveal us...
Thank you so much for reading.

Happy Poetry Friday! Your ostrich poem is so fun. I'm really enjoying this Picasso series! Thank you!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've read several of your poems in this series, and love them all, especially this one and the fox. I wish I could commit to writing short poems like this on a regular basis, but I simply have no time - I don't know how you do it!
ReplyDeleteI know that swing! I'm sure it was a joy-filled time at Highlights, Irene. Wow, a long drive but maybe good to have the hours as you said, to un-pack & then add more ideas, in your "blur of fluffy feathers". Ha! I do love these sketches! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYay for Highlights! Can't wait to hear more. That blur of fluffy. Great description.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to your swerving blurring ostrich!
ReplyDeleteHighlights is so inspiring! I'm headed there in a couple of weeks for a retreat with my critique partners. Always love your short poems, and ostrich did not disappoint.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear presenters are as inspired as participants. And Ostrich is a joy!
ReplyDeleteAll of it, delightful. I see you, flightful.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit, also!
I am so loving these Picasso pairings!
