Making DIY Poetry Pockets: A Seed is a Promise Poetry Prompt
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
