Poetry Friday Roundup

Welcome to Poetry Friday at Critique de Mr. Chompchomp. Thanks for coming. Add your links in the comments below.

On Monday June 8th, the poet Ruth Stone, a true national treasure, celebrated her 94th birthday. She is still producing fantastic work. To wish her a happy (only slightly belated) birthday, I'm kicking things off with a link to her recent poem, "The Cabbage".
