I always smile when I see “Bacon on the Bookshelf” in my email.

Thank you, Jennifer, the poems and images express such depth and beauty and
inspiration— food for my soul.

Thank you also for your prayers … I also send mine to you and this community.

Love and Blessings,
Paulette

But you hooked me. Thanks for sharing these three thoughtful, beautiful poem. And as always, your own lovely photography. It’s interesting that I am still logged in via WordPress. My account has lapsed–moved on to Substack and other projects–a book of haiku may be published next year. Peace, LaMon
