#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Milkweed

Tonight there is a wonderful dripping of rain from all the trees and all the plants that have been dusted off and refreshed as the groundwater is filling up. A heavy rain, a wonderful, necessary rain. All the ferns and hosta leaves are soaked a deep, deep green. A day of last minute details, but poetry workshops too, and poetry critique. And this news: of course it’s nice to win, but being a finalist feels very good when I’m in such good company as these poets. And my manuscript is circulating and will find the right home.
