uncurling
toward sunshine,
happiness perches on ferns,
singing

Notes: As May draws to a close, and I think about poetry, work, sunshine and my kids, a line from a poem bubbles up, inspiring my seed poem:
Happiness lands on the roof of the next house, singing
— from Naomi Shihab Nye’s poem, So Much Happiness
A seed poem is a short poem that encapsulates a thought capable of growing into a nourishing moment of reflection. (And yes, I made that up.)
Happy Poetry Friday! Thanks to Mary Lee Hahn at A Year of Reading for hosting. She is providing an optional theme — Naomi Shihab Nye poetry — which jibes nicely with my moment.

Thanks for stopping by. I liked your post on happiness. It’s very hard for me to comment on the blogs of others because I had to increase my blog security.
