Poetry Friday: "All That Is Glorious Around Us"

Head over to Irene Latham's blog, Live Your Poem, 
for this week's round-up of poetic goodness. 
Thanks, Irene, for hosting this week!

Margaret encouraged us to write about ordinary saints yesterday for Spiritual Journey Thursday. Thinking about that post led me to Barbara Crooker's celebration of "...this radiant world..." and these favorite lines from her poem, "All that is Glorious Around Us."
"...watching the red and gold leaves race down the street,
confetti from autumn's bright parade...."

Click on the poem's title to read the entire poem, shared at The Writer's Almanac. I hope you'll find much to celebrate in this radiant world of ours!

    Love, love this & I loved your pictures on Instagram today, too, Ramona. Oh, how radiant fall is! In the poem, I adore than Crooker, a favorite of mine, refers to Mary Oliver. That part about nature is something to remember, too. Thank you!
