LAKE REFLECTIONS
Sky welcomes morning
Cornflower and cumulus
Mirrored down below
Afternoon sparkles
Dance upon charcoal water
Sunshiny diamonds
Sunset upon glass
A brilliant double image
Coral rose lilac
Deepening twilight
Horizon disappearing
Ochre indigo
Midnight ebony
Crescent moon a tilted smile
Twinkling Polaris

Click HERE to read this month's interview with Julie Fogliano. She has challenged us to stare out the window and write a poem about what we see. You might even consider writing something down every day for a week:
At the end of the week, read through what you wrote and write your favorite bits on a separate piece of paper. I bet there will be a poem in there somewhere… see if you can find it. – J. F.Leave your poem on our May 2018 padlet. While some contributions will be featured as daily ditties this month, all contributions will be included in a wrap-up celebration this Friday, May 25th, and one lucky participant will win a personalized copy of her stunning new picture book from Roaring Brook Press:
Lovely! Capturing this view at points throughout the day reminds me of what Monet did with his Haystack series. Thank you for this beautiful impressionistic poem, Mindy.
