We have had six themes till now, explored and expressed by six wonderful poets. Let’s take a look below as we bid adieu to Tacenda and welcome the next series.

Tacenda- Poetry Series #6

Margie Willis was our 6th poetry series writer and crafted four poems on the series Tacenda(Latin) — things better left unsaid. Her poems touched the right chord somewhere. She did not simply write tacenda; instead, she lived Tacenda through her magical words.

She has a unique ability to make unsaid words shine through her art, to make unsaid words loud and clear. She says little and says it all, enough to touch her reader’s soul.

We deeply thank you, Margie, for being with us on this journey and pampering us with many facets of tacenda.

We insist you visit her craft embodying Tacenda ethereally.

Below is a certificate of recognition by Paper Poetry.

Let’s take a quick look through Margie’s work below:

In her first poem, she walks us through how tacenda invited Zen into her adulthood, evolving her with a rippling effect.

From Tacenda evolves an inborn grace wisdom to embrace the points of a place

2. In her 2nd poem, she tacitly describes how Tacenda bridged the abyss between mismatched expectations.

They could have the big hacienda and I’m glad I chose Tacenda

3. Then, she penned a collection of haikus on Tacenda.

eons of silence summon universal truths synchronicity

4. In her concluding poem, she left us wanting more. In Just shut up and kiss me, she wishfully dreams Tacenda to be her Valentine, her date, saying nothing, leaving unsaid things unsaid, and just kissing her, an expression of pure love.

Tacenda would be my Valentine come true no idle chit-chat winding into wacka-doo creatures heed body language to see what’s true in the dance of romance, a pet is the best guru.

Upcoming Poetry Series: ‘Fika’

Drum rolls, please. We are super thrilled to announce our 7th Poetry Series theme with an esteemed writer.

William has agreed to grace our 7th poetry series, Fika.

Fika is a Swedish word symbolizing a moment to slow down and appreciate good things in life.

In his first poem, Lifetime of Fika One at a Time, William enjoys little things one at a time and captures the joy while taking a five-minute break in between shoveling driveways. He finds fika in laughing and sitting on upturned logs around a crackling fire of maple twigs, relishing coffee and maple scones.

We can’t wait to devour the sumptuous sonnets from him and get inspired to slow down and appreciate good things in life.

We sure are game for a delectable indulgence by William J Spirdione’s art on Fika. Stay tuned dear friends!
