Poetry Friday: “Things I Love Poem”
The Monday Poetry Stretch at The Miss Rumphius Effect featured writing a poem about the things you love. Mine took shape in the form of a pantoum.
Early Morning
things I love
early dawn, wake before sunrise
slipper shuffle to writing room
coffee in hand
early dawn, wake before sunrise
word play, journal time
coffee in hand
quiet blankets the house
word play, journal time
old photograph invites a poem
quiet blankets the house
darkness gives way to gray
old photograph invites a poem
rain and wind strike up a chorus
darkness gives way to gray
grasp the pen and begin
rain and wind strike up a chorus
slipper shuffle to writing room
grasp the pen and begin
things I love
Laurie Purdie Salas is rounding up the poetry today. Enjoy.
Happy Reading.

Well done, Jone. I’ve never attempted writing a pantoum.
I like the “slipper shuffle to writing room.”

Well done! I had to look up what a pantoum was. I like the style and the way the repeating of lines keeps it revolving.

Someday, I promise, I’m going to try to write a pantoum, and when I do, YOU are going to be my teacher! I LOVE yours!
In the raffle bundle I won tonight at the KidLitCon dinner was a pack of notecards that I knew were your photos before I even looked at the back! Lucky me!!!

As a morning person, I totally identify with this poem!

Morning is my favorite time too. And I agree with everyone else. You really have captured it beautifully. I love your images.
