I’m celebrating National Poetry Month by writing and reading poetry, every day. My poetry project grows out of a list of things that make me happy. I made this list on the 30th of March.
Number twenty-seven on my list of thirty things that make me happy was listening to my friend’s voice as I walk. A large part of this joy is the relationship of back and forth. Listening and talking.
things I dare not say
she will hold without judgement
words that might strike some
as angry, selfish.confused
or worse are nestled with care

We do that for each other. Love “nestled with care.”
Everyone needs a friend like that!
I wish I could go for a walk and chat with you!
