I love words, the way they sound, the way they feel on my tongue, the way a simple word can take my thoughts on a fantasy flight. I love the rhythm and melody of poetry. Poetry is like a painting done with one's soul. Poetry give our thoughts wings. So it is just natural that on my blog there should be a place for poetry. Every month I will share some poetry with anybody who happens to flutter by, and I will also post a poetry prompt/ challenge for you to take part in and I will give awards to 3 of the participants. You can enter as many poems as you want, but only one of them will be eligible for the award. The rules are simple: any poetry submitted here for the challenge must be your own, and it must comply with the prompt given. You have to also comment on at least two other entries. Remember only positive feedback and constructive critique please. Any poetry you want to share with us that belongs to somebody else must be clearly marked as to who the original author is.
I will also give short discussions about poetry forms, rhyme or interesting titbits.
Do take part, there is a poem within each of us!! Have fun!!!!
To take part or comment, simply scroll right down to the bottom and click on the words "no comment/ 1 comment" , then write your poem in the white comment box that will appear and click on "publish".

Here is my poem about friendship:
ReplyDeleteHow precious it is
When we meet someone of like mind,
Who understands our needs
Who listens tender and kind.
How precious it is
When we can laugh and share
Our dreams, our hopes
With friends who care.
