Poetry Pantry #236


Photos from Korea - Totomai














Greetings, Friends!  Good to see you this Sunday.  Can you believe January is almost over?  Before long it will be spring here in the Northern Hemisphere.  Smiles.

This week we are featuring more photos taken by Totomai Martinez.  This week they are photos from Korea.  Totomai told me that he often travels to Korea for work!  Again, what beautiful photos.  If you go to Totomai's web page, you will see that he also has a photography book out.  Congratulations, Totomai!!

I hope those of you who post a poem will also stop in and make a comment.  It is nice even if you stop by with a 'hi' and tell us about the weather in your part of the world.   Or, if you are in the midst of winter maybe you can tell us what keeps you enthused as you endure the long winter.   And, hey, who will you support for the Super Bowl?

Be sure to watch Sherry's interview on Monday, Susan's Midweek Motif on Wednesday, and Rosemary's feature on Friday.  You never know what you will find when you check out Poets United. And, if you are not following it already on Facebook, you might want to do so.  That is where you can often find out first what's happening!

Link your one poem with Mr. Linky below.  Visit other poets.  And have a good week!!

      I hope that, for your run this morning, you had to bundle up just a BIT less than on the picture that accompanied your poem. Smiles!

    Oh! The serenity of a moment sitting on a wall! I love Totomai's photogaphy. I think sun will break through the grey today, to lift our spirits before 2 days of snow. I have extra worship this morning and afternoon which is wonderful Light as well.

    Oops, have been sitting here making the rounds all morning and forgot to check in.....better late than never. I have some good old tunes from Back In the Day - my parents' day - on the stereo and am blissfully drifting......such beautiful songs, back then, the music of my childhood, the background of my parents' love story. Happy Sunday, fellow poets.
