Sunday Picnic Has Snow To Spare

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 really enjoyed this series of posts. As someone just starting to get (back) in touch with their inner poet, these posts gave me a lot to consider... and also reminded me of the value of just jumping in.

Just wanted to let you know how much this comment meant to me – I didn't have as much time as I would have liked while the week in question was ongoing to engage in depth with people in the comments (still coming back and replying to people two weeks on!), so it was really good to hear the posts worked well together as a coherent whole.

Thank you.

I think it's a series that I am going to continue to come back to over a long period of time.
