Solace by Norma Wightman - Your Daily Poem

Norma Wightman lives in Morro Bay, California, where she walks the beach daily, leads nature hikes in local state parks, and enjoys yoga, kayaking, and birding around the beautiful central coast. Norma's poems have appeared in local publications and art exhibits and she has published chapbooks for family and friends. Her inspiration, she says, comes from everyday items and nature.

I like this poem that has been inspired by Michaels etheree and these gold poppies. I never knew of an etheree before nor did I know of gold poppies until now. It seems like it could be fun to try writing an etheree one of these days. Thanks!

How delightful Norma! Etherees are fun to write and as an added bonus: they are a neat disciplinary tool for learning/teaching syllable counts and economy of language. Nicely done!!
