As the link says, it’s a poem and post about Rumi dealing with being present in the holiday season.
There is no more inspirational time for me than winter, and simply being witness to snow in any shape brings something out of me I love. This week, I’m posting a new poem I wrote during our most recent snow-fall, so brief and pretty.

Happy New Years everyone! I’ve enjoyed getting to know many of you over 2007 and hope to continue forging poetic connections with you.

I have now moved blogs, so it would be great if a mod could update my link. Thanks so much.

A Very Happy New Year to all of you. May our muse be very kind!

Happy New Year to everyone from Georgia! I posted this poem for The Friday 5 at Poefusion, but after reading Derek’s poem and his comment about loving winter, I thought it might start a theme.
I wish we got snow here. When I woke up there was so much fog I had to look twice, thinking maybe it really had snowed.

So sorry to read that RWP is expiring. Here’s my last entry then.
Thank you, Ceridwen, for all the hard work that, I’m sure, went into this project. It was different from some of the other prompt sites because it forced us to stretch and leave our comfort zones.
My computer skills are so poor so there is no way I could run this site, but if anyone does do it, I’d be glad to help out in the prompt idea part of it.
fek! I am bummed about RWP closing. I can’t even manage my kids let alone an active website-Ceridwen thank you for all that you have done. I wish I could change your mind or figure out a way to help you with this awesome project….
no poem from me today-maybe later before the end of the week.
Roberta, thanks is really due to everyone who participated and to those who have worked on and written for the project. I do hope someone will decide to take on the site’s management on and to run with it. It has a lot of potential.
Here’s mine – its an old one that was published recently in Orbis magazine (a magazine well worth checking out – the editor is very helpful!)

Sorry to see RWP close
