this, our common wealth
an ode, of sorts, to fellow poets this month
an arrow connects me to you–
and you. forward. back. a surprise
around the bend. heartfelt-ness
near. heartbreak there. two doors
down, a reminder. all
in breath-filled words and breaks
and imagery. community. unity.
trust. green-fresh-vulnerability.
kind connections. sans rejections.
all engaged in kentucky affections,
in blue-white-gold-green.
in poetry.
in hope.

Green-fresh vulnerability… Ah. “sans rejection” is one of the best parts as well. This poem and this month speaks and nurtures hope in so many ways. I absolutely love this write. Felt as if I could breathe in your words 🙂

Thank you, Pam! Kentucky has a sweet title–and all that goes with her, doesn’t she?!
