Beltane Moon: 100 Days (68)

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 68:

I experimented with granny square eyes this evening. I think I have a pattern I can work with now (upper left corner of the X in the photo with the granny square in the middle). It ends up being a little larger than the other granny squares, but I think if I block the squares well, it should be okay.

And it’s the last day of Poem-a-Day writing for National Poetry Month. Whew. I’m a little pooped out from doing two projects at once. Next year, I think I might have to weave Poetry month into the 100 Days (make it all poetry?) or forego April Poetry completely.

Beltane Moon
by Beth Weaver-Kreider

Wood thrush calling over the hill by the pond
and moon caught in sycamore branches.
Chill breeze awakens, enlivens the skin,
a green fragrance rising from the fields.
What is calling you back to life?
Who is speaking your name in the shadows?

Toad: 100 Days (53)

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 53: 

Just a few rows tonight. I told myself I might only work for 5 or 10 minutes some days, and so far I have always put at least half an hour into a project every day. Even three rows is close to 30 minutes of time.

Toad
by Beth Weaver-Kreider

the woman who is becoming
has learned to song of the toad
how the restless lights
of lawns and gardens
draw fluttering moths
how ancient the pull of desire
in the waiting darkness
how cool the morning grass
how the jewel of light rests
between the eyes
