Your heart is broken?

The first cut is the deepest

and slowest to heal.

A special Weekly Scribblings ( Poets and Storytellers United ) today for #42, About Those Bones...   A prompt based on Magical Mystical Teacher's ( Magical Mystical Teacher ) haiku.  Choices three.  One, where might the bones have come from? Two, why is the subject of the haiku clutching a rosary? And/or third, write something inspired by the poem.  As Meatloaf says, Two Out of Three Ain't Bad . Magical Mystical Teacher's haiku: fingers framed by light clutching an old rosary carved of human bone   ROSE As her gnarled fingertips slide along the strand of beads, she mumbles the Glorious Mysteries. Just audible to her family gathered at her bedside, they do not ask why she does so. It is the way she has always done, and will continue to do until her last near breath.

  This will be my fourth year in a row participating in the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge , my third posting to both this blog, and my mostly gardening one ( https://lisasgardenadventureinoregon.blogspot.com ) 2018 was just the gardening blog. 2019 was just this poetry blog. 2020 was both. 2021 will be both. I've been writing my poetry and planning my garden photos for a while, so two blogs wouldn't be overwhelming.   Oh, yeah!  This is the Theme Reveal post! My Theme for 2021 is...  A to Z of Poetry Forms I will be writing a poem for each of the 26 days, the form of which will start with the letter of the day.  Some will be totally new to me, so be kind if you comment! Every day in April, minus Sundays,  bloggers around the world (really) will be posting something to do with the daily letter.  It can be ANYTHING!  Stories, poems, photos, recipes, music, vacation spots, animals, trees... anything A to Z!  Get over to the site linked in my first sentence to sign up!  It&#
