#ThursdayDoors #poetry #writingprompt
Again, I haven’t been anywhere with new doors, so I’ve gone to my bookshelves for help.
When I was wee, my mother gave me THE GOLDEN BOOK OF POETRY. You might say it opened the doors to poetry for me.
You can tell it’s mine, because I wrote my name in it.
ANYWAY, here are some doors from within the book.
I’ve spent many a happy hour with this book. I lost track of it and was determined to find it while #4 Daughter was here. I did, and paged through it with her looking over my shoulder. “Oh! I remember that one!” she said, as the pages turned. “I remember that picture, too!” Joy and double joy.
Thursday doors is under the direction of Dan Antion, photographer extraordinaire and critter daddy. Visit his site, enjoy his wonderful photographs, follow his directions, and enter a world of doors.
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: What opened the door to a lifelong pleasure for you?

November 15, 2024 at 9:16amLittle Golden Books were purposely priced low so low-income folks could afford them. Mom bought me as many as there was spare money for, and I bought many for the kids. Classics: The Saggy Baggy Elephant. The Pokey Little Puppy.
