Today’s prompt was a word that I knew but did not know was a botanical term: “Deltoid”. I have never quite noticed how the cottonwood tree produces triangular leaves, or that the veins on the leaves resemble the mouths of the world’s great rivers.
That word and context made me think of the triangle, the delta shape, and from there to memories along the Mississippi River.

Yes! That muscle may work its way into a future poem. Thank you!
And then there is the Deltoid muscle. …
Great poem.

Oh, I am so glad to know this! Thanks for cheering me on.
I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying this year’s poems.
