Hi,

Poetry has been lacking in my life for several months, other than what I did for a project and to release my latest collection last fall. My focus has been on editing a book I wrote a few years ago during NaNoWri. This is finally coming together thanks to my critique partners. My Christmas collection, I hope to get to soon.

We’ll see when spring comes if my muse returns from her vacation.

In the meantime, I thought I’d write a poem to try to wake up my inner poet using a picture taken by my hubby during our last storm on the Magical Trail. Yes, that’s me sledding. Images or being in nature seem to inspire me— most of the time. So here goes:

riding the storm’s waves
as only a child can do
joy captures my heart

What do you do when your creativity takes a leave of absence?

NOTE: Watch for tomorrow’s post!

Let your inner child embrace all life’s seasons. D. L. Finn
