Oh I love the gentleness of this poem and prompt. I also love the encouragement of ‘how to’ nature of the prompt do this then this. Having structure helps me so much. But it structure with oodles of space to be as creative as you want perfect combo for me thank you for writing this for us.!

What a wonderful Monday morning poem! Maybe the only thing more generous than windows are poets who create them for us. This poem reminds me of another favorite, Naomi Shihab Nye's "Famous." https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47993/famous

Oh, I had to print this poem out immediately. I love it. I love the celebration of the ordinary in poetry.
