  8. Good morning Colleen, I know I’m on and off the poetry world, not sure what is happening with my inspiration. For sure, it feels good to write a poem early morning. Thanks for the challenge. And Happy Spring to you!

  10. I’m leaving to go camping on Thursday, so I’m not sure I’ll have time to participate in this one, but I’ll try. If I don’t, I’ll make sure to support those who do once I get back. 🙂

  21. Happy Spring to all and thanks for the interesting thematic prompt Donna 🙂 I’m looking forward to reading later on when I feel better – seems I gave myself a mild case of food poisoning the other day – fie! Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?! 😂 Thankfully I’m feeling much better now, but still a bit tired and worn out for it. Oh well, learn as you live. See you soon. 🙂
