This poem! 👆 A perfect description of lying awake at night, ruminating...
“Or the open asking hand held out and waiting.” -Carl Sandburg in “Choose.” #nationalpoetrymonth #poetry #poets
I‘ve been radio silent dealing with a grave emergency on my part and especially on my husband‘s part - I don‘t put his business out on the internet but I am back and hopefully we are in the clear. I will be catching up with everyone and everything over the next few days, so please excuse my delay there too... I‘d appreciate your positive vibes as much as possible. :)
@Natasha.C.Barnes is hosting a #poetrychallenge ! (Sorry, the screenshot cropped your name out.)
Having suggested a few poets, I now want to join in! It's going to be hard to decide which twelve I want to focus on, though. Can't wait to see everyone else's choices!
Happy Birthday, Emily Dickinson! #poetry #legendary #femalepoets
pick"Real Poems for Unreal Times" is the subtitle, and how right it is. One of my favorite anthologies. Many great poets on love, family, loss & politics. 5 stars! #poetry #evocative #greatread
This is the epigraph for this book. I hope this quote doesn't make me set the bar for these poems too high... I'm hoping that I'm in for a wild ride.
Feeling all the feelings today as my precious grandmother is living her last days. She gave me this book and marked this poem.
