urgency of bloom<\/span>
hurry to flower and seed<\/span>
fuel for the migrants<\/span><\/p>\n

Autumn’s children moving south
in flocks like sunset-colored clouds<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span>A rather loose interpretation of this week’s theme for <\/span>one deep breath<\/span><\/a>. A Renga is a group-effort sort of poem, written with others. I may try to get the girls at work to help me on another one, like <\/span>Jane Poe – Nevermore <\/span><\/a>did. Stay tuned. <\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

**Updated: I harassed some of my coworkers into writing a Renga today, as stress relief. Their group effort follows.\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/span>The poets (from top left): Josie<\/span>, Linda<\/span>, Eileen<\/span>, Kathy<\/span>, Deb<\/span>, Tina<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/em>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
sharing and caring<\/span><\/div>\n
all day, every day, all night<\/span><\/div>\n
true friends are always near<\/span><\/div>\n
sadness is fleeting, but often<\/span><\/div>\n
good friends take the tears away<\/span><\/div>\n
friendship sometimes hurts<\/span><\/div>\n
to hold a grudge does not work<\/span><\/div>\n
smiles and laughter do<\/span><\/div>\n
some friends test friendship daily<\/span><\/div>\n
other friends are always true<\/span><\/div>\n
bonded together<\/span><\/div>\n
friendships come in different shades<\/span><\/div>\n
great love every one<\/span><\/div>\n
emotions express feelings<\/span><\/div>\n
friendships help us cope through life<\/span><\/div>\n
chums embrace an alliance<\/span><\/div>\n
of familiarity<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n
I’d also like to call your attention to a beautiful post by Mary who’s been commenting here lately. In <\/span>Memories Almost Forgotten<\/span><\/a> she shares some very special memories of her dad. Please stop by there and have a look.<\/span> <\/div>\n

In other news, my big brother stopped by here long enough to razz me about being Daddy’s Little Girl. Check the comments on this post<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
