Take-Away Menu

I've always had the strong desire to have a take-away from life events -- a life lesson or wisdom gleaned.
~Bridget Magee

I love a good creative family project, and ones that are also helpful to the community? Even better! American poet in Switzerland Bridget Magee and her daughter have been making free ecards. She says:

To keep in touch with family and friends, Maureen and I have been doing a drawing-a-day together using the YouTube drawing tutorial sites (most were DrawSoCute videos) and then emailing them to family and friends. They have been well received and having your teenage daughter want to draw beside you day after day of self isolation is a pandemic win!

Then inspiration struck! What if I combine my desire for take away, my desire to help, the desire to share Maureen and my pictures, my love of poetry and the efficiency of email into one big project?

Ta-da! I present to you my Pandemic Poetry Take Away Ecard Extravaganza!

Here is the Take Away Menu (picture + poem = ecard love). Would you like some dessert, a snack, or some lunch?

tongue as I thank the Swiss
kindred spirits whose love for
chocolate is as mountainous as mine
