A rainy day, things to do, and yet my mind floats along above the meetings, the decisions. It’s unfurling, shaking off the cobwebs of fading routines. Not quite ready yet to plunge into new possibilities, but on the verge of packing its bags.

I decided to continue on after a year, because this document had become a treasured reflective spot in my life. There are some changes in "Year 2," expanding options for my weekly poem beyond sonnet to add some other forms-- rondeau or triolet, villanelle. I added the decima in late January 2010, and the pantoum in August. Definitions of each form appear below. I continue to post a photo daily, but may post several pictures taken on one day over the course of a week if I have an interesting series. I may even post an old photo if I'm writing about something I'm thinking back to. I'll continue to have fun with this project; I hope you will too. For Year 3 I tried including other people in the self-portraits that accompany my poems, adding "Musical Sundays" to post mp3s of my music, but these petered out in a few months. This is simply a place for my daily thoughts & photos, and weekly poems in the forms I love. Onward...!
what a bouquet!

Irises are so lovely, but these were pummeled by the rain.

Amazing how the mind really does have “a mind of its own” (:
