Encouragement for Poets

Read, write, enjoy!

ENOUGH project

I hope we all have moments when the natural world takes our breath away! From a cloud that you feel amazed by to an inchworm climbing onto a picnic table, you can find a sense of surprise, delight, awe if you pay attention to the world around you. The goal of this project is to share and spread the joy we feel when we open ourselves to our natural world.

For this project, I am inviting poets from anywhere to find a partner to work with. Maybe a kid and an adult work together?

Once a month, to outside with your partner. Find one natural thing that grabs your breath or makes you wonder. Write a short poem (could be a haiku) to capture your subject. Post it here in the comments.

Start anytime in January 2026!
