LexPoMo 2024, Day 4

June is Lexington Poetry Month, and I’m late to the party (as usual) but not by too much. My first poem is posted here: https://lexpomo.com/poem/broken-things/

Two five-petaled blue flowers spattered with raindrops
Geranium ‘Rozanne’ – I need to plant more of these!

The last three quarters of 2023 pretty much ate my lunch, and I’ve spent what amounts to the first half of 2024 recovering. I’ll skip the tedious details but give a few highlights: relocation of an adult child and an elder parent; four surgeries on same parent; two respiratory illnesses (mine); one very scary medication reaction (also mine).

I managed to write between major life events and even posted a few poems during Lexington Poetry Month, which can be found here: https://lexpomo.com/poet/2023/jennifer-barricklow-2023/
