March 2019 SOLC–Day 4
A huge thank you to Two Writing Teachers for all that they do to create an amazing community of writers and a safe, welcoming space to write, learn, share and grow.

Four days into March and I’m floundering. So far this time around, it’s not finding ideas that’s been so hard, it’s finding the time to read all the blogs I want to and then make thoughtful comments. Every day I try to read and respond to blogs I follow, the loose community of people who tend to post when I do, new people I want to support, and a few random blogs as well. Then later, I try to respond in kind to those who have taken the time to read and comment on my blog. I’ve come to realize that I simply can’t get to everyone, and it’s driving me a little crazy. So, inspired by William Carlos Williams and Joyce Sidman, I wrote this for you all.

This is Just to Say

every day
my intentions are good
I see you out there
your posts cleverly titled
filled with wonderings
noticings and
powerful reflections

I long to linger
to read and learn from
and about you
to delight in
the taste of your words
nourishing
refreshing
and so delicious

Forgive me
the sheer volume
delights
and overwhelms
