Hello, Poetry Friday friends! Our holidays are officially over now that Ariana's birthday has come and gone (she had a deep sea theme, as seen above.) Time to get serious about inventing 2024 scenarios.
Need a little sun? Maybe you're it. A poem by James Crews:

Thanks for this, Tabatha. I went and read the rest of it...and then more of his poems...and I felt lighter and brighter for it <3
I have enjoying the poems from James Crew that I get each week. Thank you for the Maya Angelou quote.
Is that a jellyfish?! So cool! I loved the detailed observations in Hello, Little Sun like the counting of coins and the careful French. Made me smile!
I 💙”like a tiny star we carry with us wherever we go” thanks for Crews’ feel good poem to wakeup to Tabatha! 😌
"the warmth of every word" - a poem that's a hug for us, Tabatha, needed on this amazing weather day! Happy late Birthday to Ariana.
Yes, it is a jellyfish, Tracey! We had six up. So pretty!
Thanks for sharing Crews' poem, Tabatha, and "the warmth of every word."
I love how the poem focuses on those micro moments that come unexpectedly, that bring us micro-joys each days. Sometimes we don't even notice, unfortunately, and need to pay attention.
Well, YES - I, too, will accept these delightful words as a message for ME.
:)
How delightful! I feel warmer for having read this poem, Tabatha. (I'm on the road right now, and before leaving, tucked James Crew's "How to Love the World: Poems of Gratitude and Hope" into my bag. You've given me a nudge to make sure to carve out some time to dive in.)
I don't know how he does it but now I am loving that I have a little star inside to take with me wherever I go. What a delightful poem. Thank you! What a great theme for a birthday...more birthday themes, please!
Great reminder! Thanks, and SHINE ON!
Oh, my goodness, I could have sworn I already left my comment here! January Brain!?! Anyway, I love this one by Crews! I love getting his newsletter/poems in my Inbox but you made me realize I'm not following him on IG. Remedied! Happy Belated Birthday to Ariana! Long live jellyfish and sunshine!
P.S. I love that Angelou quote too. ❤️
Tabatha, What a wonderful poem to open my gray morning. Thank you for sharing this poem.
