Happy Poetry Friday everyone! Today we are hosted by the marvelous Linda over at TeacherDance. Thanks for hosting Linda!


Congrats to Linda Baie, who won the drawing for a copy of My Paati's Saris! Linda, I'll contact you later soon through the contact info on your website to get shipping info. :)


Today, I've written a little haiku/senryu type poem for the season. I thought I would share with you all what it looks like when I draft one of these poems-- especially since today this draft managed to all stay on one page! Here's a peek at my messy progress... and the final result. Enjoy!


A notebook page with several handwritten drafts of a short poem, including lots of scribbles. The first version read: rain mists pear blossoms- / a sweatshirt's muddy cuffs / remember planting. Then there are a couple different version exploring mussing shoes, before a copy with no scribble outs that matches the final version typed out in the post below.

Final version:


rain mists pear blossoms--

she tugs me with wild hope

towards muddy shoes

Thanks for visiting! Wishing you a wonderful weekend full of May flowers!
