In my adult life I am trying to unlearn that a bit--sometimes doing something well enough is better than not doing it at all, like cleaning :) <br /><br />I shared a funny/clever haiku I found on a facebook group the other day.

I wasn't planning on participating until I peeked at your blog and remembered this week is a tribute to Naomi Shihab Nye, who I love. I'm sharing, "Different Ways to Pray." I love your "I Am Not." I wish I could get my house to "clean enough!" And like several others, I can't imagine ironing sheets. I'm lucky if I get them washed and back on the bed! https://carolwscorner.blogspot.com/2019/05/poetry-friday.htmlCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-5510776400876518222019-05-31T05:49:11.893-04:002019-05-31T05:49:11.893-04:00Hi, Mary Lee!

I'm also looking forward to exploring this fantastic collection of Poetry Friday NSN offerings (what a treat!) starting with your own "I Am Not." This is so me: "The clutter and dust/rest on the surface of a love that runs deeper." <br /><br />At Today's Little Ditty I have the wrap-up of instruction poems in response to Liz Steinglass' challenge, plus her SOCCERVERSE giveaway. And not to feel left out, I've also included a few NSN links at the end of the post. :) https://michellehbarnes.blogspot.com/2019/05/may-dmc-wrap-up-celebration-giveaway.htmlMichelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-71409330065962687672019-05-30T22:24:20.236-04:002019-05-30T22:24:20.236-04:00What an inspiring post, Mary Lee, and my favorite ...What an inspiring post, Mary Lee, and my favorite part of your own take on it all is the "...one from which I didn't manage a shareable draft" part. Kids and grown-up kids can always use a reminder that creating can be hard work, and not everything we make ends up in the publishable pile! The poem you DID share is great, and I like the selective ways in which you direct your energies. (Though maybe not the ironing sheets part - or maybe I'm just envious that your home boasts crisp sheets while my linen closet keeps the fitted sheets, anyway, in a sort of rolled/folded limbo.) Thanks again for hosting, and I look forward to all the NSN posts!Robyn Hood Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279289715664168026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-36970435584891845002019-05-30T22:09:42.975-04:002019-05-30T22:09:42.975-04:00Hi, Mary Lee.

"Not" poems are fun (I'm NOT a master gardener either).<br /><br />I'm still in residence at Northfield ES. The third grade poets have food poems to share today (including a salty cake). But first, I have a link to a favorite Naomi Shihab Nye poem.
