Excited to Begin
I am so happy to have stumbled across the Poetry Marathon, although I’m doing the half. I have been an intermittent poet since I was in middle school – MANY decades ago.
I’ve had a dry spell and am looking forward to this structure to get going again!!
I live in Vermont and I’m retired from human services work. I am a part time. substitute teacher at our local HS, a passionate gardener, and I dabble in watercolors.
I’m also really into looking at the birds that feed near my porch, and I’m seriously enamored of a Raven pair I’ve been watching for years.
I have a feeling I’ll be writing about birds.
Here’s my set-up for the morning. I gathered three beautiful ornaments for “inspiration” to get some Christmas poems cranked out during the marathon. I also grabbed the map of my fantasy world so I can generate some poems from the characters in my fantasy series if that mood strikes me. (Hopefully it will!) I’ve got apples washed and almonds there on the table but there’s “eat-this-fast” food in the fridge along with iced coffees to make refueling myself quick-n-easy. I’m ashamed of those water bottles, but they’re convenient and recyclable.
