poets rally on thursdays in view, we do know the excellent spirit, and we do celebrate a birthday on january 14, 2021

it seems like yesterday

the desire to write

the dream of becoming an influence

the encouragement of others

the published thoughts in florence

the shining star in night sky

the spring flowers in our front steps

poems bloom

we laugh

childish and innocent

there is nothing better than a

dream comes true

happy Birthday to Tom Yarbrough, and to James Murphy…

“City of Potholes” by Kelly Roper

Zig-zagging down the road

Trying not to stray over the center line

Or hit a curb

Or break an axle

Or flatten a tire

Or wind up in the next surprise sinkhole.

Driving in Toledo is not a sport

For the timid or the sane or the under-insured.

 

lulu.com, tom yarbrough, a good write on worldwide views

 

 

a haiku as a poetry form

 

morning dew, green light

a treetop snapshot, silence

fine arts well fine tuned

napowrimo in april, 2020, one day to go

NaPoWriMo

Two Days to Go . . .

Whew! We did it, everyone! Another Na/GloPoWriMo has come and gone! I hope that everyone enjoyed the challenge. You might have gotten thirty poems out of it — if so, congratulations! But even if you didn’t, I hope that you found inspiration and joy in our prompts, resources, and featured participants.

Our final featured participant for the year is Aloha Promises Forever, where the minimalist prompt for Day Thirty resulted in a thematically-appropriate haiku.

As usual, we’ll be leaving the “Participants’ Sites” list up until later this year, when we’ll start cleaning up and getting ready for Na/GloPoWriMo 2020.

Finally, thank you to everyone who participated! Your enthusiasm for writing and encouragement of other participants is a wonderful thing to behold. And wherever your poetry may take you until another April rolls around — happy writing!

A month too well spent

poetry form week 29, Epiphany or Manifestation in writing poetry

https://purpletreehouse.blogspot.com/2020/03/poetry-form-week-29-epiphany.html

 

Derived from the Greek word epiphaneia, epiphany means “appearance,” or “manifestation.” In literary terms, an epiphany is that moment in the story where a character achieves realization, awareness, or a feeling of knowledge, after which events are seen through the prism of this new light in the story.

 

a sample

 

once becoming a mother, some women become a good human, they babysit,

they feed, they find ways to nurture a fresh life,  if a mother ever frowns once,

the baby could grow doubt, if a mother ever feels too tired to feed, a hungry

child could lose confidence, I try to believe that: attitude matters,  a good childcare

leads to good bound between parents and children, James and George have become

presidents, they seem always being a good company to their family members.
