Happy Poetry Friday,
Like many friends in the states, I'm working my way out of a food coma from Thanksgiving festivities. For us, it's a holiday to reflect and give thanks for what Providence has provided. I have much to be thankful for. Today, I am specifically thankful for the participants of Poetry Friday including Irene Latham who is hosting this week's round-up at Live Your Poem.
Here are some more Poetry Friday bits I'm especially thankful for...
Thankful -- Thank You
Encouragement
Writing challenges
April's progressive poem
Poem swaps
Publication celebrations
Photo prompt swap
Poet Interviews
Postcard exchange
Global poetry champions
