Some of us, closer to maybe my age, may remember the May Pole in the playground. It was this pole with extensions that you hung onto and ran in a circle as fast as you could before lifting your feet. Then there was the tradition of gathering wildflowers for a May Day Bouquet. Oh, those were the days. But…we have every day we can celebrate. I bring you my first four line poem for May. Enjoy!

I was at the TAF conference yesterday and life’s demands had me pulled away on the other days. I went for a nice walk at Duke Gardens today and feel ready to catch up. While at the conference, I became inspired to write a couple of poems, so I will include these in my catch up.

Once again, behind-Here’s the catch up!
National Poetry Month days 19-24
I have been away from my desk and did not take my laptop on purpose. It is good to unplug, refresh, and renew. I started today with an invitational assignment to post quotes that are meaningful to me. Now that I have posted that I am ready to jump back in to poetry. Poetry has been running in my head while I was gone. It pretty much is an integral part of my life. So, whenever I go and do things or simply sit and reflect, poetry just comes on in and invites itself to muse me along. Let me see if I can do it justice. I am going to hit this post with a catch up. That means I am going to do a poetry marathon of six poems. So, coffee downed and water on the sidelines, let’s see how I do with this sprint.
