Beautiful writing, Kerri! And congratulations on your new book, I cant wait to read it! This year, we have a lot of dog-violets appearing, I love to see that bright pop of blue after all the white and yellow, as glorious as it has been. And the blackthorn blossom has been a white froth of joy this year. Wishing you every success, snd a happy birthday to the little one! 💕

Spurred by your week:

Forgotten Language by Shel Silverstein

Once I spoke the language of the flowers,

Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,

Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,

And shared a conversation with the housefly

in my bed.

Once I heard and answered all the questions

of the crickets,

And joined the crying (sighing) of each falling dying (flying) flake of snow,

Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .

How did it go?

How did it go?

I love the idea that our conversations with little children open us up to honesty 🔷️

Fine writer and reader of Substack—we are starting a movement to get a poetry section added to the platform. Can I ask, are you with us?
