Doodle ku 11 -Things with Wings

March 11

back home--
in the doorway
the big black
umbrella
of my Dad

I loved the doodle again and though these are mushrooms, that was enough to get me started on "umbrellas", one of my all-time favourite prompts!

There are five other lovely poems on this doodle in the collection Things with Wings...but I enjoyed writing this one!

Doodle ku 8 - Things with Wings

Of all the doodles by Aubrie, this has been among my top 3 or 4 favourites. This image has also been used by her on the cover of Things with Wings.

spring break--
till the water's edge
and back for dinner

March 7

crackling candlelight-
through the window
a murmur of rain

Things with Wings...Doodle ku 2

"Things with Wings and other poems", Aubrie Cox's compilation of selected poems along with her doodles,(remember"I doodle, you ku", the fun project we had participated in on her blog Yay Words back in March? I had blogged about it here) is finally online!And what a fantastic collection it has turned out to be!I am so happy to have 15 of my poems featured there alongside the work of many other poet friends of mine! Download the pdf copy here if you want to feast your eyes on Aubrie's awesome doodles and some amazingly brilliant poems from first to last.

Over the next few days, I plan to feature in this space, all my poems that have been included in the collection (and also a few that have not been included) paired with Aubrie's original doodles.

I begin at the beginning, on March 2nd, where my poem first makes an appearance.
