Love in the Spotlight
This week in Scribe, it’s all about love!
Dear Reader,
Wherever you are in the world, I hope your Saturday will be sweet and sunny, and sprinkled of course with the lovely reads in this newsletter. Today, it’s love that prevails, and it’s heartwarming!
This week I had the pleasure to welcome two new writers, Anna Krasko and Misbah Sheikh. Anna gave us an invigorating poem, Everything Is Possible. I really liked the last part, when the old willow tree introduces himself as an old friend, always there to comfort and make you smile… Thanks again for this first text, Anna!
Maybe the upcoming Valentine’s Day has absolutely nothing to do with it, but Misbah pushed the door of Scribe with a lighthearted love poem, Whisper in My Ears. Small excerpt:
Oh! Earth, from your illusions If I’m not wise, blow me a little from you, And languish me with honey words.
As Sam Aureli rightly says in his touching love poem Bioluminescence, let’s celebrate love rather than Valentine’s Day! At the end of his poem, you will discover the adventure Sam has decided to embark on to explore love through its five languages… The beginning of his journey is already wonderful.
Venessa Yeh offered us a beautiful prose poem, A Winter’s Dream. When Love, the real one, the one you live every day, follows you even in your dreams…
K A Simran publishes occasionally on Scribe, but each time she does, it is to amaze us. So when I read her love poem Seeing Myself Through You, in which we meet the sand, the dunes, the wind, the moon and the stars, among others, I fell in love with her pen, again.
Still can’t get enough of love? Then go quickly to the weekly digest to discover the other gems written by Bradley J Nordell, Lisa Thorne, Q. Imagine, and Paul Mulliner. Without forgetting, of course, the other particularly moving pieces offered to us by Somsubhra Banerjee, Joyce E Cain, and Erika Burkhalter.
I am so impressed, so deeply touched, so moved by all the wonderful stories and poems that Scribe writers publish every day. I am so proud that this publication is a source of warmth that we all love to be around. If I could hug all of you to say thank you, I would!
Oh, and don’t miss this funny Cartoon by Tom Gauld!
Regarding what I have written since last Saturday, there is this haiku that I would have liked to have read to the one I haven’t found yet. Then I tried to be funny by denouncing something… The Wild Photocopier.
Before leaving you to your occupations, I invite you to say hello to Sofia Chen, who was absent for a long time but came back to us from Madrid. Perhaps the sun of Spain will inspire her for her next delicious pieces that she knows how to write so well.
Thank you for being here, and keep writing! 💛 Thomas
