In addition to Poetry Friday, one of my favorite places to hang out is Ethical ELA during the monthly Open Write. This month we were hosted by Stacey Joy and Seana Hurd Wright.
I am sharing three poems I wrote in response to their prompts.
I Believe in Morning
reflections
bayou glows
heron hunts
chickadee
dee-dee-dees
feeder swings
doodle curls
on my lap
All is well
“Let us open and open without knowing how” Billy Merrell from “Moth” ( found in Dictionary for a Better World)
Like the butterfly in spring, Let
your heart know the us
of the universe: We open
the screen door and
swallowtail flies to the open
skies without
anyone holding on or even knowing
where it was going, just how.
St. James Tricube
In this place
veil lifted
parting kiss
In this place
holy water
baby blessed
In this place
ashes laid
eternal rest

Reflections on the Teche 
St. James! Be still, my heart. Perfect poem for the church of my childhood, too.
What a lovely snapshot of morning and I loved the swallowtail. Gets me hopeful for spring despite the 24″ of snow we got! Your St. James tricube captured so much in so few words. I could just see each moment. Thanks for hosting, Margaret!
Lovely poems, all. And what a wonderful swallowtail! Enjoyed the vivid images in your morning poem. 🙂 Thanks for hosting this week.
Thanks for this rich post Margaret, all the birds, and images—I especially like your “Let us open and open without knowing how” its lovely! Thanks also for hosting!
