The prompt on Audrey Gidman’s May Poetry Prompt Calendar for May 20 was “Write a self-portrait poem.” I didn’t get to that one, but May 21 was “Now that you’ve practiced, write another self-portrait poem. Give this one a very long title.” And since one of the items on my to-do list for today was to transplant the trillium that had spread into the grass, my poem was born. I like how the title helps the poem to work on several levels. <wink>
Carol has this week’s Poetry Friday at The Apples In My Orchard.
Next week the roundup will be here, AND it will be time to sign up to host roundups for the rest of the year (July – December)!

That long title is great! I love the words, “a being.” I like thinking about me/you/anyone as “a being” like the trillium. “taking my chances with/the mower” makes me giggle. What sass before an impending transplant. Bravo.
