NaPoWriMo–Day 29–write a poem in the form of a review.
I chose to review what has happened on this blog over the last year and that is what I based this poem on.
I want to take this time to say “Thank You” to all of you who read my poems, like them and share them.
I appreciate all of the followers this blog has and enjoy the interactions I have had with many of you.

NaPoWriMo–Day 19–Landay poem

A Landay is “a form of folk poetry from Afghanistan. Meant to be recited or sung aloud, and frequently anonymous, the form is a couplet comprised of 22 syllables. The first line has 9 syllables and the second line 13 syllables. Landays end on “ma” or “na” sounds and treat themes such as love, grief, homeland, war, and separation.”

NaPoWriMo–Day 2–prompt:  constellations

This prompt inspired me to write this poem of childhood memories of clear night skies out in the country where we lived, looking up at all the stars and listening to dad tell us about the constellations and point out which ones we were seeing.
