Greetings, Poets!
Glad to see each of you here this week. Hope you each had a poetic week & also will share one of your poems here. This past week, if you didn't notice, I wasn't active in the blogosphere. I was at Disney World with my daughter and two grandchildren. I took the photo above in the the Magic Kingdom. Memories are wonderful, aren't they? Whether they are preserved in pictures or in poetry or in some other form. Poetry IS important in my life, and so are photos. I took many wonderful photos, which will help me relive my vacation for years to come. Poetry truly is much the same.......
Come back a few times on Sunday and Monday to see what's new. Visit some strangers, and they will become new friends! Making new friends and reading new poetry, what more could one want?
Also, don't forget to visit Poets United other days of the week. For example, every Wednesday Kim posts a new "Verse First" prompt. Hope you will join us there as well! Sherry Blue Sky does a feature (it varies) on Monday, and Rosemary Nissen-Wade does "I Wish I'd Written This" every Friday!
If you are on Facebook, look for us there as well. Join our site. It is one more way to stay in touch!
And now...here is the procedure, for those who are new here: Each Sunday we start a new post with a New Mr. Linky for you. This is so that you can post a link to a poem in your blog. The link will close Monday at 12:00 p.m. (CDT), but you can still visit the links of those who have posted them.
Enjoy!
happy sunday to all
ReplyDeletethank you...you are always so good to visit vandana...smiles.
DeleteThis is the first time I am visiting Poet Pantry. I am confused. What is the topic/theme for poetry this sunday?
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth
DeleteKalpana, there is no specific theme or topic for the pantry. You may post either new or older poems that you'd like to share. Hope you enjoy your poetic experience here,

A picture of Rain Ravaged Kedarnath Shrine brings back memories.... many lives lost,and prayers submerged... RIP.
ReplyDeleteI was not active last week too. Rains are taking a toll here. We didn't have power for 1 whole week as electric lines were disturbed by falling trees. My heart goes out for the people of Northern regions of India, who are facing a calamity sans bounds. Nature is brutal at times.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, Anand. Nature IS indeed brutal sometimes indeed.
DeleteThere are two sides of a coin and one without the other in incomplete. My poem "Broken Bonds" explores the emotions of both the affected parties viz hers and his
ReplyDeleteIt's bad form to post and bolt. Can someone explain to me why lately it seems admins are reminding participants to drop a link and COMMENT to others? If you can't be bothered to read and comment, why drop a link with hopes of being read? No one is asking we comment to every contributor but surely we have time to comment to some.
ReplyDeleteI agree, LaTonya. It might be hard to comment on every poem for sure; but we sure can comment on some.
DeleteThoughts and prayers in Northern regions of India.
ReplyDeleteYou've got them, LaTonya.
DeleteHappy Sunday, poets!
ReplyDeletewelcome back mary...you were missed....smiles....
ReplyDeleteand latonya, you already know my answer to your question from our emails...
AH, thanks for missing me, Brian!! I was out cavorting with Mickey and Donald and Goofy for a while as my granddaughter was enjoying being one of the Princesses! But it's good to be home!
Deletei want a pic of your with the mouse ears on mary...smiles.
DeleteThank you for calling attention to the 'comment' aspect of reading and linking. It gets lonely in the cyber world sometimes. In fact, on many occasions 'lonely' is a precursor to entering into this world.
ReplyDeleteVery true, it does. Commenting back and forth does give a feeling of community, which is really what we strive for here at Poets United. But it takes all of us to achieve that. My best to you, Marcoantonio!!
DeleteSunday morning greetings, Poets! Shared a very short one this morning. (Ha, it won't take you long to read and comment....smiles). I will see many of you out on path through the blogosphere... Have a good poetic week!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to be able to participate this week, and look forward to reading some good poems! Thanks for this wonderful weekly prompt.
ReplyDeleteMary than you for hosting. I have not been here for some time. I am so glad to be back.
ReplyDeleteHey Mary! I'll be back later to read and roam. I am still on the road.
ReplyDeletetravel safe susan...
DeleteHi kids. Welcome back, Mary, you definitely were missed (smiles). I am not well this weekend, but will try to read as many as I can, even if it is done in fits and spurts.............always such good reading in the Pantry!
ReplyDeleteYes, let the memories begin and never end.
ReplyDeleteOk this is my first time here. I'll just try to look around.

ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday to all....Just linked up a poem. Would love to have your comments on it. Shall read the other entries tom..its past 3.30am here now!!
ReplyDeleteit's late and my head is blank, but I promise to return tomorrow and read and comment with a fresh mind. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am not always moved by prompts; I need to truly be moved to write. However, I am grateful to share what I can or what I have. Thank you for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful time at Disneyland with the kids! Great way to spend time.
