To end each post, there will be this call to share your own work. Whether it’s something that you write as soon as you finish reading this post, or it’s a poem you’ve posted or had published, place the whole poem in the comments or put a link to it. A brief description before the link will help me process comments faster, so I know they’re not spam.
Also, feel free to share links to poems or spoken word performances by other poets. I hope this month will bring a wide variety of poetry to everyone’s attention. Also, there will be posts on my author Facebook page, a link to which can be found on the right-hand side, that will include spoken word performances and links to work of other poets, which will not appear here.
This is just so beautiful, Mandie. I will carry the words “a slight wonder” with me today.
Thank you, De! 😊
“I became
a dark, stormy night
trying to be a lighthouse…” This line is so beautiful. I love it. 🙂
Oh, thank you! 💖
You’re welcome! 😊
STUNNING!! And these lines…
I became
a dark, stormy night
trying to be a lighthouse
while drowning at sea.
…are beautiful! 💙
Thank you, Diana! I’m so glad that people are enjoying this part. It’s a few lines that represent a lot and has a lot of personal meaning.
You’re welcome, Mandie. 💙
