Postcard Poetry Fest

It's a bologna and cheese
on white bread
kind of day...
crust removed...
red kool-aid and
homebaked chocolate chip
cookies...
sand in our shoes...
plaid beach blanket...
and another round
of "Row, Row, Row your boat..."
packed in picnic
basket memories...
Adult children are never
as much fun...

This is the first of the postcards I have sent out during "Postcard Poetry Fest - 2007." The challenge is to write a poem a day and send it on a postcard to people on our list. Since I do "mail art," I have also used this time to create my own postcards instead of purchasing them. This has indeed been challenging, but so exciting to receive postcards and poems from people all over the world! It has also been somewhat frustrating when postcards come unsigned by the writer... Oh well, nothing is perfect... and the good far out weighs the bad... Paul, one of the coordinators, has done a great job of scanning postcards in to his Facebook space... it has been great fun so far. (Facebook has some real advantages...)

Well, need to close for now and go off to create...

Blessings always,
