Just this


I would wear the sky,
*
pull that cloak of peacock feathers
*
together and fly

That is simply stunning--can only imagine how it felt to view that first hand, and your haiku fits perfectly

I LOVE both of these: your photo and your poem. On days when I feel trapped and overwhelmed, I'm going to imagine wearing the sky and then flying away.

Lovely image and words.

I too am avoiding the Mockingjay reviews as I don’t have the book yet. For some reason our local independent bookstore hasn’t gotten it in yet. Congratulations on you pitch honorable mention!

EVERYBODY! Thank you so much for all these wonderful comments. This has been a strange, difficult week for me, so I'm sorry I didn't reply to each of you, but I am so touched. Really and truly.
