Poetry Prompt – April 29

April 29 – Pull out the canned goods and other food items from your cabinets and cupboards. (you can always donate your unopened goods to your local food bank when you’re done). Begin by reading the labels and marking down words and phrases you think you can work with. Create a poem from your collected words, or even a strange recipe.  

From the Muse Library: Red Bird: Poems by Mary Oliver. Overflowing with her keen observation of the natural world and her gratitude for its gifts, for the many people she has loved in her seventy years, as well as for her disobedient dog Percy, Red Bird is a quintessential collection of Oliver’s finest lyrics.
