Today I’m helping poet, Irene Latham, celebrate her blogiversary. It’s the BIG 10. Irene’s “one little word” for this year is “wild” so how fitting that she has a Wild Roundup over at her blog. I met Irene online and am wild about her poetry!
In saying congrats to Irene, I want to reshare a poem I wrote which was inspired by rabbit tracks in the wild.
Penny Parker Klostermann 
Congratulations Irene. Ten years is quite a feat. I love the tribute to you from Penny. You’ve been hippity, hoppity-ing along at a steady clip for 10 years. How appropriate.

I love that “frosty-fonted farewell”! J. Patrick Lewis, I think, has a poem inspired by a tracks in the snow in Jane Yolen’s Once Upon Ice. And I have “Tracks” in BookSpeak. There’s something about that temporary evidence, like a shadow with no object to cast it, that inspires poetry, isn’t there? Love your wonderful poem!

I’ll have to look those up, Laura. Yes, temporary evidence does inspire the imagination and poetry 🙂
