#2021Progressive Poem of #PoetryFriday flits here!
So, let’s jump right into the mix now at Day 6.
I’m a case of kindness – come and catch me if you can!
Easily contagious – sharing smiles is my plan.
I’ll spread my joy both far and wide,
As a force of Nature I’ll be undenied.
And yesterday Irene Latham, who is kindness defined and delivered,
tapped [or penned but I feel it was tapped/keystroked] two juicy
next lines. But! Only one line can win! Really? The competitors are:
See that child sharing grapes with a friend?
OR
Words like, “how can I help?” will bloom in the street

2021 Progressive Poem [in-the-making]
I’m a case of kindness – come and catch me if you can!
Easily contagious – sharing smiles is my plan.
I’ll spread my joy both far and wide,
As a force of Nature I’ll be undenied.
Words like, “how can I help?” will bloom in the street.

Wouldn’t cha’ know it. I totally love both of Irene’s detail-rich line friends.
I see an illustrator running away with them – so much liveliness in each line.
My pass-along two choices are
A new girl alone on the playground – let’s meet, let’s meet!
OR
See that child sharing grapes with a friend? [by Irene Latham, Day 5]
And yes, you sharp-eyed ones, I added heft to nature, but of course,
Nature doesn’t have to stand. What’s going to unfold tomorrow? The one
who knows [or will know by the lovely morning] is Day 7 poet
