You take a child beyond identifying a flower to identifying a wildflower's sense of playfulness. Loved it!<br /><br />I would love to win a copy of this book. Please enter my name in the drawing. <br /> Linda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16517546647672781332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-91121823386383302952015-11-10T15:39:00.043-05:002015-11-10T15:39:00.043-05:00I love this poem!

So many layers here! "A writer must be willing to explore wild places within her or himself..." So true and something I'm still working on. As I write more and more, I see patterns in what I write, but I've also begun to suspect there's a pattern to what I'm not writing. Thanks for a wonderful gift of words to start my day and some inspiration to take a walk on the wild side.mbhmainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368641525885104669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-21870297424596690502015-11-09T21:09:35.887-05:002015-11-09T21:09:35.887-05:00What a wild party in the meadow--love the sounds o...What a wild party in the meadow--love the sounds of those talented flowers!Buffy Silvermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223895917772531703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-81955605927395575662015-11-09T20:18:08.196-05:002015-11-09T20:18:08.196-05:00Perfect choice from one of my favorite collections...Perfect choice from one of my favorite collections!

"Thistles strum guitars"...my maiden name... my brother and I (Thistles) used to strum guitars...<br />This reminds me of the secret life of teachers, too.
