Finding Forgiveness

Summary

The website content is an invitation to participate in a collaborative, never-ending poem project, with the current theme being "Beginnings."

Abstract

The website features a community-driven poetic initiative where writers are encouraged to contribute to a collective poem. The current poem, titled "Finding Forgiveness," is a haiku that reflects on the challenge of moving past hurt to reach forgiveness. Ivette Cruz is acknowledged for initiating this poetic game, and the baton is now passed to ten new poets, including Sylvia Wohlfarth, Earnest Painter, Sterling Page, Keno Ogbo, Navya Gupta, Alison Acheson, Mary Lynne Carpenter, Alex Kilcannon, Wolfie Bain, and Karen Madej, who are invited to write poems on the theme of "Beginnings" and then propose a new prompt to continue the chain.

Opinions

The initiative is praised as a "fun and beautiful game," indicating a positive view of collaborative writing and its potential for creative growth.
The act of inviting specific poets and tagging them suggests a sense of community and inclusivity within the poetic endeavor.
The concept of a never-ending poem emphasizes the continuous and evolving nature of creativity and expression in the poetic community.
By adding their own prompts, participants are encouraged to contribute their unique perspectives, fostering diversity in the collective poem.

A Haiku

The hardest of tasks

To put the hurt behind you

And find forgiveness

Thanks, Ivette Cruz for inviting me to play this fun and beautiful game.

And now it is my turn to invite 10 poets with a new prompt:

Beginnings

Please write a poem about Beginnings and add your own prompt at the end, and tag 10 writers to continue writing the never-ending poem:

This is how it works: write a poem on my theme of Beginnings, and then come up with a new prompt and tag 10 poets — hence, the Never-Ending Poem… we are all writing even if we are not playing!
