writing weekend
This weekend, I will be attending WordSpring. WordSpring is the annual spring meeting and workshop of the New Brunswick Writers’ Federation. I will be reading some of the poetry from my ‘harvesting colour’ manuscript and I will get another eye on part of my novel at a Blue Pencil Café.

Preparations for the weekend made me think of a poem I wrote after the workshop in Saint Andrews a few years ago …

October 9, 2011 ‘Moon through the trees’ Jane Tims
encounters
~
on a windy night
in Saint Andrews, a toad
hop-toddies across the road,
bewildered
~
and on Prince of Wales, a deer
pauses on the sidewalk, stares
up the hill, and I hesitate
before driving on
~
in the Algonquin, a light
switches on, in the room I know is mine
and a couple huddles on the open porch,
and leaves, mottled, skid
along the street
