happy first birthday poetry thursday (and an invitation)

Please join me in a little one-year birthday celebration for Poetry Thursday!

Settle in with your favorite beverage and a little snack, get comfortable, and enjoy some poetry…

But first, if you want to, share the name of the last poem that spoke to you, to the guts of who you are. You can even add a link if you have one. I would love to know what is inspiring you in the world of poetry.

Then, go on over to Poetry Thursday to explore and see what all the participants shared this week.

Oi, I spend the last hour reading poetry instead of working. Please allow me to share one more poem with you:
If You Forget Me - Pablo Neruda

On Susannah's blog, she posted a beautiful poem by Carol Ann Duffy. I must get a book of her work.

I'm afraid I am going to be boring and say Mary Oliver. I can't get enough of her poetry. It fills me up every single time!! (Especially the book I bought in Portland!)

Happy Anniversary!

Special thanks to you and Dana for starting it...

That cake! Yummmmm....
It inspired a poem!

Chocolate, oh chocolate
get in my tummy,
Don't you know you look
so yummy?
I am going to eat you
all up,
And then top you off
with the milk in my cup!

:)

Ditto on The Peace of Wild Things - Wendell Berry and I'd like to add a link to Clare's- Three Beautiful Things blog. Every day she poetically states three things that have brought her joy. She is an inspirational haven. http://threebeautifulthings.blogspot.com/
