Have you ever walked by the chips aisle at your grocery store, resplendent with every crunchy, salty, imaginable temptation, and bite your lip, steering quickly past?

Boy, I have!

We know those snacks aren't good for you, but occasionally I stop and indulge myself.

Well, today... You are in luck, my friend.

I have a snack for you that can be eaten one tiny bite at a time, has zero sodium and calories, and is sure to make not only your tummy, but your spirit feel better.....

It's...

Yep, sometimes plain, sometimes spicy. Poetry Chips may feel delicate in your mouth or pack a real good crunch. It is a bag of deliciousness that will constantly surprise and satisfy...

...and I bet you can't eat just one!

Poetry comes in fun bite-sized nibbles,

or extra large portions

Poems also come in a variety of flavors like:

playful,

vintage,

and meaningful... to name a few.

Like Forrest Gump said,

"Poetry is like a box of chocolates.

You never know what you're gonna get."

Forgive me... I took some artistic license there ;)

Go ahead, pull up a chair, grab your favorite beverage, and join me in 2026 for a nice, relaxing bowl of "Poetry Chips." Let's get crunchin'!

Below are the Poetry Friday Roundup links through June.

Click on the link for that day. You will see a poem from our host and also see links to other poets' blogs for more deliciousness. I will be hosting for the first time in May. I hope you will stop by!

Thanks to Catherine Flynn at Reading to the Core this week, for kicking off 2026 for us!

She has a surprising poem knitting together the month of January with a skein of yarn! Wow!
