We read poems about family life today! Starting again from the Rag and the Bone Shop we read from the section about fathers. Then we went into my Father went to Funerals by Howard Nelson. Then I played the trumpet to get us to slow down and be ready for the poetry.
Our substack poetry this week included Stephanie M. Vargo with:

Mahdi Meshkatee returns with:

Justin Wong keeps the heat next with:

Lastly, Casey Bolt had:
A simple but beautiful poem about kids. Perfect way to end the day. Thank you to all the poets, have a great weekend everyone!
