Happy Poetry Friday! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.)
Swinging in to share a poetryaction that I wrote after reading Michelle Schaub’s lovely new book, A Place for Rain. It’s lively language and a great environmental story! I really didn’t know what rain gardens actually were before reading this, although I’d heard the term before. Now I know!
You know what else I know? I love a bath. Lovelovelove. So, that’s what I wrote about. What do you love about water? (You can see all my poetryactions here.)
I’m going to miss the next couple of Fridays–can you guess where I’m going based on this wonderful journal by Robyn Hood Black? I’ll probably be sharing some pics along the way on Facebook and Instagram. Hope you have a great October!
Oh, one more thing. I’m sharing We Belong at this cool special event. Maybe I’ll see you there–it’s free! Click the image for more info/to register :>)
And for lots of wonderful poetry, don’t miss the Poetry Friday Roundup with anthologist and connector Tabatha Yeatts.

Wow! Enjoy every moment. Can’t wait to see what poetry comes out of this trip. “world’s smallest lake” is a great ending to your poem. It’s fun and funny and perfectly kid sized.
Looks like it will be an amazing trip! Have fun getting inspired! Love your little bite-size poem that is so kid friendly. At 6′2″ I just wish there was a comfy tub large enough for me in this house! Have a great day.

Have a wonderful trip, Laura! Love the image of the bathtub as “the world’s smallest lake.”
I guess we all love that image of “the world’s smallest lake”, Laura. I am a bath lover, too, with lots of bubbles! Have an amazing trip, which I’m sure it will be! I look forward to lots of sharing and poems!
OMG — have a fabulous trip in Ireland. We visited and drove the country for 2 weeks in 2018 and the memories fill my heart. I am writing a number of poems about water (a Neveremore’s prompt that I’m still working on from earlier this year). Maybe they will come to something –but I love a bathtub as the world’s smallest lake :). Splish! Splash!
Have a wonderful trip! I also loved A PLACE FOR RAIN! And I love reading in the bath!
Such a cute poem — love that small lake! Have a fun and safe trip; hope you see a leprechaun. 🙂
Oh, my gosh, have an incredible trip, Laura! Ireland is on my bucket list. Enjoy!
Loved the plink, plip, plop of your poem too! 😀
I didn’t know you love baths 🙂 Are you a bubble person? Hope you have a great time in Ireland! My husband’s coworker just went and he loved it, even though he had a wild time driving on one-lane roads in a stick-shift car.
Ah, Laura, what a lovely poetryaction. Baths are one of my favorite uses of water. I limit them to occasionally when I’m traveling. Since water at our desert home is hauled in by the truckload, I don’t take a bath here. The art day and We Belong read aloud sounds like nice events.
Laura, I thought I sent you a comment but I do not see it in the comment section. I will try once again. Your poetryaction is delightful. I signed up for the webinar and hope I can still attend or at least watch it on Zoom. Enjoy your trip.
