My twenty third poem for 30/30, “Mourning Dove” is live. For more information about Tupelo Press, 30/30 & donations and incentives, please see my previous post or visit the project blog. This poem was inspired by the mourning dove nesting on the third floor of the building I teach in everyday. I’ve always thought of mourning doves as kind of frumpy, but there is something stoic about this one.
