Off to a strong start in the new year -2014
I'm off to a strong new start in this new year. Wahoooo! It was a busy day from morning until dark including a hair appointment, then off to meet poet members of NC Writers' Network West at a local eatery for lunch and a critique session with our individual poems. This is the first time I've been in a while, due to health problems and recovery. I was excited to be back among my friends.The joy in my heart and mind was blown out of proportion --W O N D E R F U L,
W O N D E R F U L. After that fun filled meeting, with good poems and lots of hugs, I still had to go to the grocery store, and lucky I did do that. (Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.) Driving up the mountain about 5 p.m. I thought, "That looks like snow." It was and snow now covers the mountain road and woods. It is a beautiful sight. But, there will be no driving down this road tomorrow. Plenty of time for writing though.

For Newspapers by Ted Kooser)
Dear Ms. Simpson,
I wanted to let you know that your poem will be released to our website, www.americanlifeinpoetry.org, next Monday, January 9. Newspapers carrying the column will download it as a PDF and run it according to their usual print schedules. Current readership is about 3,000,000 per week.
In addition, a large number of readers receive the column via free e-mail subscription. We’ve heard from some of them in such places as Nepal, Indonesia, Uganda, Bangladesh, Egypt, The Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Peru, most of Europe, Mexico, Korea, India The Philippines, Turkey, Viet Nam, China, Canada, the U.K., Sweden and Myanmar, as well as U.S. Readers from Maine to Hawaii.
None of this would happen, of course, without the cooperation of the poets who so generously allow us to reprint their work. Thank you once again!
Kind regards,
Pat Emile
