Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
April has simply flown away too fast and now National Poetry Month is wrapping up. I have enjoyed thinking more about poetry and how I wanted to share it with you. For the last few years I have attempted to make reading poetry a daily habit and the practice of sharing it on my blog... Continue Reading →
April is National Poetry Month in the US and I've chosen to honor it by sharing a special poem each week. So far I've shared poems on How to be a Poet and opening the doorway into thanks. Today I'm sharing a poem that has stuck with me since I first read it; a poem... Continue Reading →
I'm back with another poem to commemorate National Poetry Month. Today I'm sharing my favorite Mary Oliver poem; I know I've posted it before but I couldn't help but write about it again today. I have this poem taped up on the windowsill by my computer and read it multiple times a week, as I... Continue Reading →

I confess that I struggle with poetry and don't understand why poets make their decisions: Why divide your sentences in half like that? Why put in those random breaks? Huh.

AND - I'd be really grateful for a day full of sunshine. Just putting it out there to the universe. But despite the gray and chill, we've got some... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I shared a poem, but here I am. Remember when I complained about my current Mary Oliver collection? I said that I'd already read many of the collections these poems were pulled from and that I was trying to remind myself that rereading poetry is encouraged. Well - lesson learned....

It's been a while since I shared a Sunday Poem, but I put a sticky note on the first week of September so that I would remember to share this poem with you all today. And it's an even cooler balm to the soul now than it was months ago when I first read it.... Continue Reading →
I wasn't planning to be back with a poem today, but this one presented itself to me on Saturday and I couldn't resist! Mindful Every day I see or I hear something that more or less kills me with delight, that leaves me like a needle in the haystack of light. It is what I... Continue Reading →
