This poem is beautiful, AM — and a perfect offering for a new year. I, too, have been thinking of Mary; it was a year ago the poetry world lost one of its brightest, simplest stars. I miss knowing there won’t be anymore new Mary poems to read … maybe that’s where AM’s wave washes in and fills the empty space.
Happy New Year to you, my friend,
DS
thank you, ds
you know one of my ‘real solutions’ this year is more reading – i must tackle that shelf of lovely brilliant poetry and prose books –
you are too kind, my friend
thank you and i look forward to our creative commiserating in 2020
Dan,
wow! sports kind of go the way of the team on fire in the moment – sort of like creating anything else – he/she with the most fire blazes brightest 🌟
you keep on writing your masterpieces – i don’t mind being a crazy old lady in ’em!😅
So very honored to be included in, Better Than Starbucks! “Mary, I Am Learning,” is an homage to Mary Oliver—her poetic voice
anntogether 
Happy New Year, Ann!
