A Poetry Booklet To Share

For the holidays and as a blessing for the New Year, I gifted over 20 poetry booklets to both family and several friends. It's come to me to share the poems and writings that I chose for this booklet with anyone else who hasn't already received this as a gift and who may be interested.

The cover page of the poetry booklet that I had made was of this yellow tulip, a photo that I had taken when we received a late snow last year. From there I copied each photograph to accompany the poems that I had selected and had them compiled into a booklet in this order:
  1. Joan Zakon Borysenko: A Prayer https://mollystrongheart.blogspot.com/2022/11/joan-zakon-borysenko-prayer.html
