Day 22: Staying Calm in a Storm, by a Sea Goddess (#NationalPoetryMonth2020)

April 22, 2020 By Laura

It’s the final #waterpoemproject poem. Thank you, Laura Shovan and all the contributing prompt writers! 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 […]

Day 21: Grocery Store Heroes (#NationalPoetryMonth2020)

April 21, 2020 By Laura

The theme of today’s #waterpoemproject is gift poems, and before I share mine, I want to share a gift I got recently. Snowman-Cold=Puddle is a nominee for the Minnesota Youth Reading Awards (Star of the North picture book category). This is Minnesota’s version of the kids’ choice awards, and this is my very first book […]

Day 20: An Oil Spill Diamante (#NationalPoetryMonth2020)

April 20, 2020 By Laura

Today’s #waterpoemproject prompt resulted in a sad poem. I prefer to celebrate water and focus on the positive, but in thinking about “dirty water,” I couldn’t help thinking of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Here’s my diamante:   Like most everybody else, I’m experiencing lots of upheavals lately! I have no huge National Poetry Month […]

Day 19: Spindrift Definito (#NationalPoetryMonth2020)

April 19, 2020 By Laura

Here’s today’s #waterpoemproject poem–a definito prompt from Heidi Mordhorst via Laura Shovan’s lovely project. I love definitos–this is my second one, and I’d love to write some more.   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 […]

Day 18: Puddle Is a Word (#NationalPoetryMonth)

April 18, 2020 By Laura

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: […]

Day 17: I Am From…by Water (#NationalPoetryMonth2020)

April 17, 2020 By Laura

Happy Poetry Friday! Today’s prompt for the #WaterPoemProject was awesome but challenging. How do you show the universality of water but still stay specific? Here’s my attempt: 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 […]

Day 16: Drip from My Fingertips (#NationalPoetryMonth2020)

April 16, 2020 By Laura

I’ve been participating in Laura Shovan’s fabulous #WaterPoemProject, and it’s the best decision I made for National Poetry Month. With only a few exceptions over the past several weeks, it’s been the first writing I’ve done each day. I check out the prompt, spend about 30 minutes writing a poem draft and creating a Canva […]

Day 15: Spring Peepers (#NationalPoetryMonth2020)

April 15, 2020 By Laura

I haven’t heard spring peepers yet, though some of my local Minnesota friends have. Not sure if it’s because I’m in the city and not near any ponds or marshes, or because we have had snow several days the past week! Ha! Anyway, I’m going to try to get outside at dusk the next few […]

Day 13: Floor, Not Sky (#NationalPoetryMonth2020)

April 13, 2020 By Laura

Today’s #waterpoemproject prompt involved thinking of some favorite words, then somehow connecting them to water. “Bamboozle” is a word I love the sound of, and it means to trick someone. It also has “bamboo” in it. So I thought about how bamboo in the rainforests grow so fast, and that maybe the rain tricks it […]
