Kaitlin, this is lovely! I would love to share your poem with a group of gals at a poetry/journaling/nature workshop I'm doing this weekend. What perfect prompts. Thank you for your words and wisdom!

Kaitlin, this is lovely and thoughtful and fitting words to honor earth. Our son Noah is a rock climber, though his parents prefer earth and water to air underneath us! And I am from Virginia and my partner went to College in West Virginia and we spent a few exhilarating experiences in and around New River Gorge, especially rafting the river. I am looking forward to A Poem a day in May, which over the past few years has connected me to some amazing poets and people and help me take risks with my own writing!

Thank you for the encouragement that we don't have to be official poets or trained in poetry to do poetry..."If you think you’re not a poet, think again. You don’t have to be a perfect poet, there’s no such thing. You don’t have to rhyme a certain way or have a rhythm to your words like someone else. You just have to show up to the gift and let it show you the way."

I look forward to the gift showing me the way! Blessings to you and thank you for this gift!
