Poetry Friday round-up is with Tabatha at The Opposite of Indifference.
Today I am the featured poet on Laura Shovan’s #WaterPoemProject. My prompt comes from a tanka that appears in my book Bayou Song. Hop over to Laura’s blog to see the prompt.
On Wednesday I scheduled a Zoom meeting with my students. About half of them came. I shared my prompt, and we wrote a tanka together.

Rylee started us off with an idea about see what she thought was a treasure chest in her pond.

Rylee’s lovely winter pond.
I need to finish up the schedule for the 2020 Progressive Poem. If you’d like to sign up, comment on this post. There are still spots open.
