Last week, I put out an invitation to create together and we did:) A group of wonderful creatives came together over Zoom. What a fun night! Thanks to Jan, Carol V., Margaret, Robyn, Denise and Lil Sis for gathering around Zoom to make junk journal style “Poetry Pockets.” My altered book examples are the first pic and I just saw Denise’s post, so I’m happy to share her beautiful pics here (second set.)
It was the first call, of I hope many, that I put out to create something together on Zoom: Junk Journal Style: “Poetry Pocket” Invitation. In the hour session, we took a little time getting to know one another’s interests and creative pursuits. (Most Poetry Friday friends already knew each other, Lil Sis- my sister, who I asked to come – and I were the newbies.) Other Poetry Friday friends reached out interested in future creative time too, so I look forward to doing more creative sessions.
My “Poetry Pocket Poem” based on the prompt “A Seed is A Promise”
A seed is a promise rooted in hope
A seed is laughter on a slippery slope
A seed is a promise to be tended to
A seed is a secret for the future you

Happy Poetry Friday! This week’s round-up is hosted by Tabatha @theoppositeofindifference. Her website is always full of insights and inspiration. Today, she shares her OLW “listen,” a fun Poetry Teatime and a poetry call for a new anthology for middle schoolers (and more!)

I love the community of this!!
Jill, please email me your mailing address again. I tried sending something last month that got returned.
Hi Patricia, I emailed my address to you again:) Argh, don’t know why it was returned, but hopefully the second time is the charm. Thanks for thinking of me:)
“Laughter on a slippery slope” — this is a seed-idea I’ll plant and see what sprouts 🙂 Thanks for posting and workshop-hosting, Jill.
Thanks, Tabatha! Hope you’re doing well:)
Thanks for the seed pocket tutorial zoom. I hope you will do it again. I love your sweet seed poem.
Glad you could come, Margaret:) Loved your DIY pocket with the cute graphic of children and time to hang out with a lovely group! Hope you’re enjoying your time with the Inklings!
