A Skeleton for Poetry Friday

January 14, 2016 By Laura

Skeleton - a poem by Laura Purdie Salas

Happy Poetry Friday! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.) In thinking about my word of the year–essential–I realized I had written a poem not too long ago that connected with that.

Classified Haiku [Poetry Friday]

August 6, 2015 By Laura

Fall is like a last-chance hand (the Poetry 7 are at it again)

July 9, 2015 By Laura

Happy Poetry Friday!
