Sunday Picnic Loves Plums

Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

I absolutely loved all of this week's posts, but raze's "Bird is the Word" made me giggle with delight.

I know I've been fairly inactive on the comm lately, but hopefully that will change. I'm settling back into working 40 hours a week in 8 hour groups (rather than doing about 40 hours, but doing it at my own pace) and being back in the working world as opposed to the academic one. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hallo thar! :)

I am exceedingly pleased with my pod_together/poetree production. Also with the process of editing the text thereof.

Yay!
