For this year’s A to Z Challenge I am posting an event involving someone in my family tree for that date. It may be a birth, a death, a christening, a journal entry, a letter or a newspaper article. If the entry is a news item, it will be transcribed immediately below. Click on photographs to enlarge in another window.

I had a difficult time finding an item for April 29. My family seems to have skipped that date. Or perhaps just made no record of happenings. Then I remembered that for several years I have done the National/Global Poetry Writing Month along with the A to Z Challenge. There had to be some poems written on the 29th. There were. I chose the one below.
I almost forgot today's poem.
Lying in bed, writing
on my phone.
Still enough light to see the sky,
trees silhouetted.
The light from the
office reflects on the window.
I get up and snap
a photo.
Done.
Poem by Kristin Cleage April 29, 2023
Amazing what we can recall at the last minute
So true.
Do what you have to do to cover all the letters. Or in your case, all the dates 🙂
I’ve been taking notes of all the happenings this month in case I every do this topic again!
I have never been able to write poetry. I have tried. I enjoy a few poems, but it isn’t my favorite genre. I did enjoy reading yours!!
This isn’t my best one, but it fit the bill!
Fun post and delightful poem!
I’m so glad I didn’t forget to write it!
Done! (I needed to have learned that technique this year, when every post has taken way too long!)
I think mine were mostly shorter this year. I enjoyed your longer ones.
