Crafternoon Poetry Workshop

It’s always good to work on my craft, especially when it lifts up the local poetry community by engaging with such lovely folks as today allowed. I feel richly blessed to have taken part in @sejdb ‘s exercises. Happy National Poetry Month everyone!

Symbolic gestures aid in the understanding of our authentic hearts while emotional extension to others builds bridges rather than walls, revealing the paths we were meant to be on all along…
