Today is the first Friday of a new month, October, and time for an Inklings challenge. I asked my writing group friends to exchange photos for an image poem. I invite you to participate in image poetry every Wednesday right here with This Photo Wants to be a Poem.
My exchange partner was Heidi. She had the opportunity to visit fellow Inkling, Molly, in Maine this summer. I am quite jealous that they all made blueberry jam together. I could not resist the delicious collection of jars in Heidi’s photo.
Georgia Heard inspired my poem by sending her own recipe poem through her newsletter.

Reflections on the Teche 
Perfection!
(I, too, am extremely jam-jealous!)
What a perfect poem, and so delish—with tingly good feelings… Wonderful way to start the day, thanks Margaret!
[…] Simon at Reflections on the Teche offers a recipe for friendship, inspired by a similar poem by Georgia […]
Sounds like a perfect recipe to me!
Beautiful poem and picture, Margaret (and Heidi)! That photo did indeed want to be a poem.
So heartwarming to read your poem of jam and friendship. 🙂
Margaret, the poem reminds me of a summer day by the beach where the sunshine and sea winds bring the the taste of blueberry. I love the way you crafted your poem.
I love this, Margaret! Every word is exactly right.
I love it! The photo has the brightness of the jam and your poem has bright words. Sweet and sweet pairing. This was so fun! Let’s do it again.
Making jam together. LOVE! I also love this recipe poem. 🙂
Love your poem and all the memories it evokes of time with Heidi and Fiona 🙂
Margaret, this is the best recipe for jam! I love your word choices involving sea wind and blue sky. It reminds me of photos that Molly has taken in Maine. I love Heidi’s delicious looking photo. Great poem and perfect ending – one bucket of friendship.
