A New Poem Up at Verse Daily!
I’ve been feeling a little discouraged with the poetry world lately, so it was so nice today to get an acceptance in the morning – and find out in the evening I had a poem up on Verse Daily today! It’s “Fairy Tale Redacted,” from the literary magazine Redactions.
Here’s a sneak peek:
Verse Daily, Fairy Tale Redacted
Wildflowers in Woodinville
I felt well enough today to take a longer stroll, and saw a lot of baby rabbits hiding around blackberry hedges, and found this beautiful wildflower field at a local farm. Some days the world is full of hidden beauty. I was inspired to get some sunflowers to plant in my own back yard. I wish you some good news, sunshine, and unexpected wildflowers this week.
