summer leaves fall
but petals always bloom,
in memory
Copyright 2017 Brenda Davis Harsham
Notes: Here is echinacea for health and to celebrate meeting my goals with NaNoWriMo. Yay, I have a new book! I am well in excess of my goal of 30K words.
I’m also pleased and honored to announce the publication of two poems, Summer Vacation!? and an excerpt from Children of Privilege, on November 2017 in the Best of Today’s Little Ditty Anthology 2016 (Volume 2). If you’re interested, click on the title and the link will take you to Amazon where you can buy a copy.
Hope everyone else had a happy, healthy November.
Happy Poetry Friday! Thanks to Mary Lee Hahn at A Year of Reading for hosting!

Aren’t people so generous with their germs? I always seem to catch everything going by. Oh well, at least that creates lots of time for reflection and reading.
