Bi-Weekly Wisdom from Karen

In honour of National Poetry Week #fashion, #polygamy #colours #priceless #nostalgia

Has your feed been stuffed with poems this month, dear readers? Mine has. The pleasure of reading a shiny newborn poem every day; fabulous! It would be rude to not feature these wonderfully crafted works of art.

George Lamptey’s colours and wisdom started my day in a splendid way.

Can you not… See Hear Smell Feel This splendid existence?

Who could resist a poem entitled Shades of Grey? Harold Finch’s exquisitely coloured words gave me shivers of anticipation.

I called you my sunlight Because of your smile and warmth, Were what woke me each morning… The love in me blossomed like roses…

This poem from j.calabrese caused my eyes to prickle, well, flood. A miniature story of the day of her birth. Sublime and visceral.

He is polygamous, so is she,

What a call to action, Be Audacious! A perfect example of poetry on any inspirational subject. Delightful, fabulous fashion.

Claire also has a publication. This is an excerpt from her submission guidelines.

Everybody is welcome. This is a place for your creativity to flow. Tell us your story however you can. A poem or a short story. Your goals, dreams, aspirations, and what you have learned along the way. What you have lost. What you have gained.

Laura Misener penned a poignant poem. More prickling, welling, and flooding. Those sentimental endorphins you induced, a boon.

I took a stroll down Memory Lane, The weight was heavy on my chest. I stopped to pause many times, But I couldn’t catch my breath.

Now, though loath to draw to an end this smorgasbord of delicious portals to these poets’ worlds, we must.

Thank you for reading.
