nothing. it’s peaceful like

And there you have it! I guess it's hard to bemoan my own slow pace of writing when I'm busy helping this happen. Jama is helping us happen today by rounding up at Jama's Alphabet Soup. See you there!

MORNING ADDENDUM! I forgot while wrangling all these poems and photos that my TLD Anthology Poem "A History of Your Voice" is featured at Michelle Kogan's Mother's Day blog post! Please enjoy it, and a beach-day photo of me and my dear, delightful mother HERE! In fact I will be with my mother and father this weekend helping them get ready for a move nearer to us--hooray!--and so my comments will be scarce, I'm afraid. But thank you for yours!
