I checked Mary Oliver's book Devotions out of the library myself. I send poems from it, and other books, out to about 25 women every morning as a "poem of the day " along with a gratitude list. Some people send their own gratitude lists back to me. 🙂
The first one is my favorite. I love the resistance. Also, I’m reminded that I told myself I am going to sit down and write every evening this week. Time to get to it! 😊
You won’t be sorry! There’s a whole series of poetry books by this creative duo. There’s A Kick in the Head, which is about different poetic forms. There’s also one about concrete poems and one more that I can’t remember right now. The only one I own is A Kick in the Head, so I need to add the rest of them to my collection!
This is great, Rebecca! I’ve been struggling to sit down and write creatively, mostly because of all the other things that seem to be yammering about their importance. I should write about *that*!
The brain drain one is my favorite too! I love this glimpse into your mind! I’m feeling inspired now!
Thanks! I'm always happy to inspire another poet!

That's a neat idea!
Great poems!! I think Brain Drain would be relatable to kids! Great way to express your emotions.
Thanks, Marci! I think Brain Drain can probably be relatable to most of us at some point!
The last 2 poems are my favorite
Thank you!

Thank you, Sara. Good luck with your writing goal. You can do it!
I love this!
Thank you!
I'm now desperate to buy the death of a hat! The illustrations have hooked me.

Sounds great! And what a lovely thing to do as a collaboration.

Yes, you should!
