This morning I had a hard time settling into a poem. I did a quick journal to gather my thoughts...and decided on writing a few haikus. I will read your veins As you absorb morning light Leaves are nature’s books Reach for the most light Falling from the blue jay’s beak Mourning dove witness Water… Continue reading Haikus #morningcoffeesessions
Spring chicken #morningcoffeesessions
This morning we welcomed in Spring. The season. The sounds. The animals. The changes...and I couldn't get the words 'spring chicken' out of my head. Despite making lists of sights and sounds around me that are definite indications that spring is here...my brain couldn't let go of 'spring chicken'. Spring Chicken I am no spring… Continue reading Spring chicken #morningcoffeesessions

New Moon #morningcoffeesessions Day 4
This morning's session took a different turn. I pulled away from where we began because I couldn't ignore what was happening in my body. We talked about hugs. And...you know I love me some hugs. So, the poem that came out was not what I expected...but also what I couldn't ignore. It's about menstruation, so… Continue reading New Moon #morningcoffeesessions Day 4
