The Poetry Pantry
2nd Chance Poems or 1st time shares
Anything goes!! All Poems, all Poets, All Week!!
Do you have a poem you would like to share? Something that you just felt inspired to write and want others to read. Perhaps it’s a poem that didn’t get as much exposure on your blog as you would have liked. Maybe it’s a poem that you wrote a long time ago that you would like people to revisit. That’s what this section of Poets United is for.
Each Sunday we start a new post with a New Mr. Linky for you. This is so that you can post a link to anything you want us to read, anything at all related to poetry or prose found on your own poetry blogs. It will remain open all week so that you can show us your writings and thoughts. You can post links weekly should you chose to do so. What poetry you put here is up to you so don't be afraid to share with us!!
1. Don’t link to more than 3 poems per week.
2. Please visit some of the other poems linked here when you link to yours.
3. Leave a comment after you have posted
your link.
your link.
Happy Sunday.

ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!

ReplyDeleteGrey morning in Port Alberni, BC
ReplyDeleteRage
Be the change you want
but never make a mistake
blossoms turn to madness anyway
illusions offer good times and prayers.
Abandon a name and don't be afraid.
Blessings dissolve in your cup, shaping
injustices in offering the imperfect.
For goodness sake shine like a new day.
Ignore the tyranny, it's here to stay;
the greed, the irritation. It's all a risk
but at least try something new. Keep
the stillness, surrender to the barriers,
the doubters and traitors.
Go live by the ocean.
Dissolve yourself. Winged hearts are
beautiful, ride the rhythm of a polished
sand floor. Be indifferent. Wrap your courage
around you. Love is an ocean, that's what I say.
Wow, a fellow poet from Port Alberni! Such a beautiful poem. I especially love the closing stanza.
DeleteI posted one from my Soul Card Journey series, made all through the month of April 2011.Nice to see all of you here this morning!
ReplyDeleteGood Turn out! Well done Poets!
ReplyDeleteI will wish you all a wonderful sunday and a great week. For this week I have contributed an essay on Basho (a haiku poet) from my weblog Basho Revisited.
ReplyDeleteMy snowdrops have been good this year - physically and emotionally.
ReplyDeleteback after a fortnight.hope u enjoy this.
ReplyDeleteWell, kinda new to this Linky deal...not sure if I really got what I wanted there, if not check out And the North Beach Rain....any reads are greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHerotomost - I have tried a few times to leave comments at your site. For some reason they are not being accepted.Loved your poem about El Sol....."not enough sand.......to cover the depth of his sorrow." Fantastic!
DeleteThanks Sherry, trying to figure out why. I am a little new to the whole blog design thing. I appreciate the stop...more than you know.
DeleteA cold day by the moor - have lit the coal fire.
ReplyDeleteThanks as always for hosting this! Here's my Campaigning For Limericks.

Hi to all of Poets United and participants with The Poetry Pantry.
ReplyDeleteAn unexpected surprise discovering this opportunity.
What I write may not strictly be Poetry, but the words succinctly tell my Story I feel, and I hope you'll enjoy the experience.
I've already quietly visited other participants... there certainly are words gathered together triggering wonderful thoughts, images and feelings I'm discovering.
Thanks so much for this Adventure with Words
Here's one with a philosophical bent, written for dVerse Poets...
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday everyone! I linked up a blitz poem I wrote during the final race of last year's Nascar season, just to get my engine revved up a little bit more since the racing season just about to kick off again.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, wow. i am excited to read other's work. i am excited to share. fun.
ReplyDeletehappy valentine's ❤ be your own valentine.
First, Happy Valentine's of course - This poem is also up over at Poetic Bloomings; it's a cento and one of my all time favourite things to write so since the blogroll here still seems to be stuttering somewhat, I thought I'd try to get it some more airplay through the pantry ... if that makes any kind of sense ... in any case,"Its Cold Teeth Precise" can be found here:

Thanks for the opportunity to share! Happy Valentine's Day. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you again for the opportunity to share! Happy Valentine's Week!
ReplyDeletethanx!!!
ReplyDeleteThey're short poems. Will check out yours, too!
ReplyDeleteI put this poem on called "I am becoming silent" which is I guess a strange title for a poet.
ReplyDeleteIt's a short poem about one of those moments in life when we recognise that we've changed, or grown in some way.
I'm OK with pantries as long as the cheese is kept somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading the wonderful poems posted here :)
ReplyDeleteMy post (#76) is actually a short story. It is a zombie story. I hope that that is alright. I hope you all enjoy. If a short story is unacceptable for this forum, please let me know where I can post it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI posted my jump-rope-song of the apocalypse. The link also has an audioblog of the poem.
ReplyDeleteThe edge of my becoming
ReplyDeletelike the bending stem
of a daisy at the end of Fall
before the white pedals
wilt and drop
still proudly I stand
Would like to think
my stamens perpetuating
something of me
if not my petals
at least my color
and strength of stem
I’ve stood here for my
designated time
let the wind blow me
side to side
other species step on me
steal my pollen
but that’s the way
it should be of a daisy
So much I’ve seen
standing here
so much I’ve grown
I’ve let the elements
of life influence me
some things I did not
understand but I
accepted that, allowing
the wind to do it’s thing
Today some of my petals
have begun wilting
none have yet fallen off
but soon i will be at the feet
of someone else
hopefully I will be
a part of new growth
Feb 14th in mind.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone as always.
ReplyDeleteMy third, and last, link is not to a poem, but a musical Valentine :-) Hope you're having a wonderful Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday everyone =)
ReplyDeletehope everyone is having a great week.
ReplyDeletealmost 3am, i'll have to come back tomorrow night to visit others links. ♥
Late this week but, better late than never :)
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry - link 99 is correct, not 98. But I can't figure out how to say that within the link list..
ReplyDeleteLinking again, thank you to PU
ReplyDeleteLinking to a new poem of mine, 'saints'. Just in time for Lent. I'll leave it up to my readers to decide whether it qualifies as a Lenten sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading some of the other poems in the links.
Linking again! Thanks for the opportunity to share poems. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd latest of all, an audio-blogged poem of mine, malison d'etre. 'Jonathan is a bat out
ReplyDeleteof hell
which explains his crispy singed
wings....'
I also have a post on my blog that explains how I go about recording my audio for the sake of other writers/poets who want to give readings online.
