In Illustrated Poetry...

Thanks, Piscator, for recommending that little niche category. It's always a pleasure to draw the poetic picture with words and more. Really hope we see some new works in that category soon.

Very nice live write by GP. I should go back and put a like on it.

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

Thanks, Harry.

So much stuff got published in poetry today, your sonnet was at the top but the link is broken!
Alas I am still in limbo. It's been ages again since anything went up.

It's not there at all now...........the vagaries of cleaning house, some things get accidentally chucked.

i absolutely adore these two lines from 29wordsforsnow's piece in post 6

my hand just borrows it
leafing through 'healing'

Guilty Pleasure... "poetic bimbo" *applause*
entirely relatable

moochie's latest in Poem-a-day for April... love the concept of these lines, never seen this expressed before so it came across as striking to me:

Pressing his tongue into her
to understand the texture
of her soft whimpering moans

the texture of her (soft whimpering) moans

it invites contemplation

29 word'sl atest work in April - Poem a Day has a synesthetic quality - I'd love to see it paired with an ilustraiton. And a fascinating link the link to the work of Mary Gartside

Your wish is my command, even though not even close to Madame Gartside's non-figurative painting.

Moochienanu's We are nurses in the April - Poem a Day thread sucinctly encapsulates the frustraion of health care provivers with this ongoing covid pandemic.

I wish I'd had the time to keep up with the NaPo thread, and I would like to catch up on all I haven't read yet, eventually, because there was good stuff in what I've read so far. Congrats to those who got through it. I know what a challenge it can be.

 

[Piscator]

Sincere thanks and congrats to all who took part in this April folly. By my count only Moochienanu filled the full 30 poems. followed by 29 and me at 28, River Maya at 12, Winter Fire at 12,and Butters at 5.

and Moochie has, by far, outdone all of us in making it a poem a day, well done!

Re: the April thread

So glad I got to share the space again this year. I’m always in awe reading other people’s compositions and learning about them and how they are the world.

It’s a beautiful thing, to be able to share this. Thank you, everyone.

I wish I could write poetry.

We all start somewhere. If you're not reading much poetry, you could begin there, see what appeals to you, what kind of poetry that you like. If you decide to write a poem, you can post it here and ask for advice. I will say that this forum is a little slow, there aren't many of us active, so it could take a little patience to get the advice or critique. Still, there are lots of threads in here with information, and challenges, and all sorts of reading that can be done. It may feel daunting, trying new things often does, but if it's something you're interested in, give it a try. Welcome to PF&D.

Voboy - thanks for posting in the 5 Senses Challenge

I've been trying to peek in most days, but because of other stuff, and now Covid (my number finally got called!), my time and attention span has been limited. The Covid has been fairly mild, mostly sapping energy and brain function, so have been pretty lucky where that's concerned.

Hope I can spend some time in the not too distant future to catch up on some of the writing that's been going on, and maybe even manage to put some words together myself. Thanks to those of you who still keep this little train slowly chugging along.
