RSVP and other poems about writing letters

Hello and Happy Poetry Friday! Be sure to visit Mary Lee at A(nother) Year of Reading for Roundup.

Today's ArtSpeak: WOMEN poem features a piece by Gabrielle Münter that I've written on before, during 2020, my "Red" year. 

Thanks to Catherine at Reading to the Core for suggesting I write after Gabrielle's work! I've selected a few more of her pieces I'll tackle later in the year.

Like many of you, I LOVE sending and receiving snail mail. So no wonder this piece called to me once again. Thanks so much for reading. 

Speaking of mail, I recently received in my postal box this bewitching stitchery from our hostess/poet wrangler Mary Lee. I commissioned her to embroider a favorite line from the book I wrote with Dahlia Hamza Constantine, A Good Morning for Giddo. What a special keepsake... I LOVE it so much!!

Oh, and have you seen Little Truths Studio Snail Mail Club Subscription? Fun! Now here's the poem. :)

My pen darts down the page

a bullet train blasting past every crossing

How delight tempers

trepidation in this blur of words

So what if we crash

yes   yes    I’ll be there

You are my favorite destination

And here's the 2020 ArtSpeak: RED poem... "When I Write to You I Put on My Red Shoes"

In 2019 during ArtSpeak: HAPPY I wrote "The Letter" after a piece by Mary Cassatt.
