more wonderful women poets
⋆
i am pleased to be featuring some of the most creative, talented, brilliant {really!} poets of our time. i have been fortunate over the past two and a half years to meet this amazing group of people through twitter and their blogs. not only are they writers who excite and enchant and entrance their readers, they are, one and all, nice people who are supportive of everyone in our online poetry community. the “age of technology” has, in fact, facilitated the spread of the ARTS! ~ poetry, photography, art, prose, music… i have friends i have yet to meet face-to-face from all around the world. day or night, you can visit their blogs and be transported to another time or place or frame of mind with just a few clicks of a mouse. i find it thrilling! and i believe you will find it equally thrilling to discover their words.
just click on the “Read More” links on each poem to be taken to a new tab or window to read the rest of the poem on the author’s blog. if you enjoy what you read, please leave a comment on their blog to let them know. { you don’t have to say you saw them here. } i am truly honored that these wonderful people agreed to be featured on my blog ~ my gratitude to them all.
and thank you for coming to our celebration ~ enjoy!

“Inside Me” by Heaven
⋆
⋆
Inside me lives a working class woman
Tinder soot on cheeks, hands of a layman
Daily I wash plates and throw away bones
Daisy feet I’m not, but wide as a cone
Inside me lives a reckless brown filly
Gin and wine I take when I feel silly
Dreams for my children, bright as the sun
Dread…..Read More
