L'aura del Campo

Reading, writing and hymning.

Rereading Ted Kooser's Winter Morning Walks and Wendell Barry Farming: A Hand Book.

Going through hymnals. Have three. I was explaining to Ann how the various meters and stress patterns as well as the use of refrains can be helpful in writing poetry. Brian Blanchfield suggested I look up Leann Brown (sp?) who uses the cadences of Appalachia.

Nice visit with Ann of Bow, Washington. She quilts and her work will be on the walls for First Friday at Bernice's. We chatted a bit and I've sketched out part of "Ann of green rainbows" [167.95] Way ahead of writing goals.



Wish I had tales of walking to relate. At 45 (the high) and windy I hung out in the coffeehouse. Mid 20s tonight? ***shiver***
