Poetry for every day connection
Happy Saturday, everyone! I thought I would show you where I live – the back yard, anyway 🙂🌿 Scout and Jingle Belle decided to be in the video, too 😊🐈 Some of my poems have been inspired by my time in my little piece of paradise (like the haiku below) ✍🏼 And yes, sometimes I like to grab a guitar and practice back here, too🎵🌿🐝🌼
