Here are today’s #WaterPoemProject poems. Each morning, I’m waking up and dragging myself into a poem. But then I get into my draft and the world drops away for 30 minutes. A lovely way to start today. Also, don’t miss the lovely article on poetry’s calming effect during these times. I was happy to contribute: http://neatoday.org/2020/04/17/the-calming-effect-of-poetry-in-uncertain-times/
Like most everybody else, I’m experiencing lots of upheavals lately! I have no huge National Poetry Month plans–just hoping to share an imagepoem here each day (or as often as I can). I’m participating in Laura Shovan’s awesome #WaterPoemProject the best I can, so most of my poems will come from either that or from the PAD (Poem A Day) Challenge at Writers Digest. Grateful for the distraction of poetry and friends!

“Always shrinking to its own ending…” sounds sad to me today. I love how you embedded the letters of the word into your poem. Your daily posts are encouraging.
Yep, I had a wistful feeling while writing it…thank you, Margaret.
Ooh — “cups up to reflect the world” is somehow perfect — thank you for this silver lining.
That was one of my favorite lines, Tanita–I think Nikki Grimes used “cups” in one of her example poems, and I stole the idea.
