I often share this poem on Dec 21st but posting early for @thewindingroad1's #PromptCombo #PoetryPrompt of #WinterSolstice. A sestet written as a gift for family. This version was handprinted on his antique press by my pal Ralph Vetters in MA. Friends, may your light increase!
Drawn to the Light press is running an amazing poetry competition, The Little Fires of Brigid Poetry Competition for the inaugural bank holiday for St Brigid. Opening for submissions now (from Sunday, 04th Dec & closes on Sunday, 08th Jan 2023) Link: tinyurl.com/4v4kza36
Maura, the title is profound as is the life’s journey that each of the locations represent and how seamlessly you draw us to a particular place, a particular emotion ‘The sea was telling me I had to forget in order to rest.’ And yes, pay heed or not!. Captivating. 👏👏
Thanks Catherine for the lovely prompt of invisible, I really like this prompt/theme. I wrote about the first thing that struck me about it and I share my poem here. Titled: 'The sea and its symbols, either pay heed or not.' #PromptCombo. #PoetryPrompt #invisible.
So appreciative of the amazing work @tarryathome has done to encourage regular poetry writing - thanks for this gorgeous prompt of #invisible.
"The sea was tellimg me I had to forget": @Soundingvisual responds to the week's #PromptCombo #PoetryPrompt of #invisible with a four-part meditation on the sea and its moods - and their effects on our moods. I love this, Maura: gentle and wise. #PoetryCommunity #PoetryLovers
Thanks Liam for your lovely comment on my poem. Sharing this to my page so I can remember the phras that I really like - a combination of turmoil and tranquility 🌻
A combination of turmoil and tranquility along with the changing faces of nature. Very good Maura 👏👏👏
