POETRY PIE PRAYERS and
WRITING CHALLENGE
My cousin Lorrie is a Writing Instructor who specializes in Haiku as a daily practice. She has challenged us to write a daily 'piece of poetry pie' for the remainder of the month of April. I decided to combine my haiku with my daily prayers - especially since I love iterations! And then...find an appropriate scripture verse! Only...since I'll be on the road til the first week of May, we'll just keep eating pie until then!
