my coffee gets cold
guess I made it
for the fragrance

Creative Notes
This year, I also read and reread poetry books by Barbara Crooker. One of the pages at her site is Books by Barbara Crooker.
As I reread the work of poets, I also begin to learn more about craft.

With a new school year beginning for many, The Haiku Foundation Education Resources may be useful.

Memoirs
I enjoy reading memoirs.
Cynthia Reyes – the blog of Canadian author Cynthia Reyes – wrote A Good Home: A Memoir and An Honest House: A Memoir, Continued. I reread both books this year, and you can learn more at her site.
Luci Shaw is another author I reread, her poetry and prose. God in the Dark: Through Grief and Beyond is a classic. Adventure of Ascent: Field Notes from a Lifelong Journey is another generous book. Luci’s official website has more information; see the All Titles page. She also has a page for New Releases.

Friends
So many ways to enjoy poetry: reading, writing, and reviewing what we have written so far. These are poems from the archives on this site.
