a poetry month wrap-up.

I had grand plans for poetry month; reading a daily poem, discovering new poets and favorites, writing several poems of my own and sharing them all with you. Oh, the best laid plans...

I hope you found time to soak up the beauty of a well-placed turn of phrase, a precisely chosen rhyme or ingenious metaphor.

I did want to share the one short verse I did manage to compose along with a vow to strive to be a bit more diligent about posting. (But no guarantees!) 

strength 
comes in tiny packages
little bits at a time
like strands of rope
breakable strings 
on their own
yet wound together
you find yourself bound
for greatness
