    Yum! Our kids would love that-no pancakes at our school. Maybe I should suggest it! Love the 'pancake thin' poem-just right!

    Yum! Just yum! The words feel like syrup pouring. And make me wish I was going out to breakfast instead of going to work! We might have to have breakfast for dinner tonight.

It's Poetry Friday!!!  I'm honored to be hosting today's link up of beautiful words.  If you're joining us, please leave your link in the comments.  I will be back later in the day to move links up into this post.  In the meantime, be sure to visit the comments to find links to more poetry finds.   A Gentle Hello Out of nowhere you appear. I wasn't expecting you; not today. It has been awhile since you stood near the door strong and tall  greeting me as I entered;  assuring me you would still be right there upon my return.

Early in the month, I began to collect words that showed up in my life. In the beginning, the list grew, and then it narrowed. As the end of 2024 neared, I found myself settling in on the word CURIOSITY. The upcoming year appeared sure to be filled with things beyond my control, so it seemed a stance of curiosity might be the best way forward. It was full of possibility and, as a questioner by nat...
