From Here to Happy (poem)

 Hello and Happy Poetry Friday! Be sure to visit Bridget at wee words for wee ones for Roundup.

I'm excited to be sharing time with some of you this coming Monday night for Diving into the Wreck: How to Revise Poetry. Yay! (If you missed this before, there's still time to sign up!)

Charles Waters and I are neck-deep in revisions of AFRICAN TOWN, our historical fiction YA verse novel coming early next year... but I did sneak away from that work to write a new ArtSpeak: FOUR SEASONS poem. Thank you so much for reading!

From Here to Happy

Meet me at the bridge
where the wild lilies grow.
Meet me before breakfast,
and we'll watch the Morning Show—

one turtle, two turtles. . .
look, now there's four!
And a pair of glossy ducks
where there were none before.

Meet me at the bridge
where the wild lilies sway.
Between fish-nibbles and sun-ripples
the pond smiles at us all day.
