dig it
 

I'm in the 500th Ted Kooser's American Life in Poetry column right now, and I don't mind tooting my own horn today. Here's the link:

A touching poem by Sphere member, Elise Hempel HERE. Also HERE. Kudos, Elise!

Beautiful poem.

Lovely poem Elise. Well done you!

Elise, I started a congratulatory thread earlier today. Nice work.

Thank you, Catherine and Ross. A whole year from acceptance to publication in Kooser's column. Isn't that what publishing poetry is all about? -- waiting, waiting, waiting.... The poem was originally published in Rattle's single-parent theme issue.
