1. I open my phone to see a new podcast link from NPR"S Book of the Day featuring US Poet Laureate Ada Limon. Come back to listen for a weekend treat!
2. I click on poets.org and find this serendipitous quote by Ada Limon on the home page:
"Poetry offers us that silence—that quiet space."
—Ada Limón, United States Poet Laureate
3. I locate poems by Limon on poets.org. Check out one of my favorites, "The Raincoat."
4. I invite you to my Friday Festivities in honor of post 1,400! Cue the confetti!
Tracey has this week’s Poetry Friday roundup at Tangles & Tales.
Ramona, what serendipity between you and Ada Limon! I love that poem! I relate to that realization about my parents once I became an adult. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteRamona, a celebration continues all weekend with all that you offer. I shall enjoy the interlude of silence in the warmth of sunshine.
