This morning’s prompt for Verselove — In poetry, we say … — had me thinking to time I spent picking up sticks in our yard (and putting them in the pile for the fire pit).

And of course, there is this song:

Peace (in the remains of winter),

The prompt at VerseLove this morning was pretty wide open, with the suggestion to use the National Geographic site (which was paywalled) and to end a poem with some alliteration. I saw a headline about how new evidence shows dogs were with humans even earlier than previously known, and I looked over at my own sleeping dog — Rayna — and took the idea from there.

We were writing Ekphrasis poems for VerseLove and I still had an art exhibit at Smith College on my mind from last week. This poem is inspired by One Half Log Divided Into Chair And Scraps
by Gina Siepel, Smith College Museum of Art.

Peace (and wonder),

Day Two of VerseLove.

Peace (and caution),
Kevin

I almost missed the first day of VerseLove, but then I remembered and got down to a quick poem to get into the mix for the start of April.

Peace (and poem),

Here are two poems with a crocus flower as its center. One is from a morning prompt and one is a Sunday poem response to my friend, Algot. This is crocus season here in New England, the first signs of the changing season.

Thunder was the prompt for Haiku this morning but my mind is on the coming No Kings protests today.

Peace (shout it out),
