Poetry Pantry #479





Good morning, poet friends! A bouquet of flowers for all of the wonderful mothers, grandmothers, and aunts out there. May you have the lovely day you deserve. 


Happy Mother's Day

Our thoughts are also with those whose children are no longer with you on this plane. This must be a day when joyful memories mix with the pain of loss. Our hearts go out to you, truly. And I know many of us are remembering our mothers and grandmothers today, heroic women, all, no longer with us but always in our hearts.





I am looking forward to what lies waiting in the Pantry for us. Thank you for being here on this special day.

Rosemary featured  some wonderful haiku by Connecticut poet Jason Goldfarb on Friday. Do scroll back, if you haven't seen it yet. On Monday, we will share boomerang poems by three of our regular contributors. We think you will really enjoy them. And on Wednesday, Susan's Midweek Motif prompt will be: Picnic(s). That sounds like fun!

Today, let's top up our coffee, and dive into the Pantry and some fine poetry. I love Sunday mornings! Link your poem, old or new, leave us a few words, and do visit your fellow poets, in the spirit of reciprocity. Thank you for being here. We appreciate you!

  4. My piece is about the larger essence of coming to be, which is the crux of Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to whom ever it pertains.

  14. Yes, I love the reminder to love mother earth as well. Absolutely, the giver of all life. Has been a busy (and happy) day at the beach with my youngest daughter and my two granddogs. Sigh. I have a happy heart.

  15. I was convinced I had commented here already, but... it seems my memory and I were dancing different tunes.

    Sherry, I hope you had the best of weekends and that your Mother’s Day (and everyone else’s) was perfect.

    🌱💗🌱
