I am the snow queen. Anyone who knows me knows that I spend ¾ of the year waiting for snow season. HOWEVER, I must finally admit that after dealing with what seems like a hundred feet of snow in the past two or three months, I am maybe, kinda ready for a little break. That’s right, I want the snow to melt, and I WANT SPRING. In fact, I am getting quite desperate for it. I think I have forgotten what the sun looks and feels like. The beginning of March brings some hope, but I remember winters past when the snow managed to sneak back in as late as April. I guess I can’t get too excited yet. To keep my spirits up I’ve decided to track the small signs of coming spring, and today’s sign: it was the first day in longer than I can remember when it was warm enough to leave the scarf, hat, and gloves at home. That’s right, JUST A COAT! It was a very happy thing...

For those of you wanting to help spread the word about the 146 Poems of Love project, here’s a link to a downloadable flyer:
FLYER
I’ve also posted it on the 146Poems page. If you want to let others know about the project, make some copies and put them on telephone poles, in your college writing/arts department, in your favorite coffee shop, or hand them out to your friends.
And THANK YOU to all of you who have been submitting! Each submission feels like a gift. I feel so blessed to be able to read and view so many wonderful pieces.
Check out Empire Builder , a site that has been kind enough to join in spreading the word about this project. It's got some great stuff for people who love poetry...
