Welcome to Poetry Friday! This week our host is Linda Baie Here. Thank you, Linda, for hosting! Make sure you stop by and check out what Linda is sharing with us this week from Colorado.
I have been busy this week writing and submitting poems which has felt productive. I have to catch up on the Taylor Mali talk, which I couldn’t attend but will definitely listen and submit his contest. If you need info, check out Janet Fagel’s post, January 28, 2022, HERE.
I would like to share the terrific artwork and poetry I have received for our New Year postcard exchange organized by artist and poet Jone Rush MacCullough. The first is artwork and a haiku from Robyn Hood Black.

I so hope it is poetry that runs wild this year!

Carol Varsolona sent the following art and poetry:
Here’s hoping for a “cloudberry sunset” for everyone.
The last postcard is from Jone Rush MacCullough. I have been told that the unusual texture was created by bird feet and captured by Jone’s lens. It does look alive.
The Poetry Friday community has given me such a boost this winter–that and my husband, sons and my other wonderful friends. So much positive energy and emotion. These postcards were a delightful extra.
Thank you, Linda, for hosting this week!
Hooray for a boost of poetry! I love how February is busy with words. It makes dull weather less of an issue.
It really is like a hug to see one of those postcards in the mail, isn’t it? Best wishes for your submissions, Janice!
Wow! Your mailbox has been full of wonder lately–What treasures you’ve received! Thanks so much for sharing the wealth here.
I just love seeing all the postcards!
I’m enjoying all these postcards, thanks for sharing them Janice—and all the best with your submissions!
BTW I mailed a postcard to you, if you didn’t receive it let me know and I’ll send another, thanks.
So wonderful! Thank you for sharing these!
Janice, I guess my comment never made it through. Some odd things are happening in this house but one thing is great, my postcard made it to your house. Thanks for sharing it with the others. May a winter hush surround but without too much of the dipping temps.
What wonderful poems and what a great wish for the new year. May your year be full of poetry, both read and written!
Janice, Thanks for sharing the postcards (including mine, last week). I really enjoyed participating in this exchange of writing and art this winter. I look forward to doing it again! The Poetry Friday group rocks!
