Poetry Pantry #248


Poetry Pantry #248









Greetings, Poets!

I don't know about you, but I am looking forward to a feast of poetry today.  I know many poets are involved in NaPoWriMo.  I am one who is not.  Smiles.  Too much stress to expect that of myself. If you are, perhaps you will share one of these poems with the Pantry.  If you are not, we will definitely enjoy any other poem (old or new) that you wish to share with us.

I think by now most of you know what Poets United has to offer.  Besides the Pantry on Sunday and Monday, we also have Susan Chast's Midweek Motif on Wednesday of each week.  It is pretty cool how she always gives us a hint the week before of the following week's prompt.  Sherry Blue Sky and Rosemary Nissen-Wade also have their Monday and Friday features.  Just keep checking back, and you are bound to discover something interesting here.

If you would like photos from your area (or from a vacation you have taken) to be featured in the pantry, do let me know.  I included a few of my photos taken on a walk this week. Spring is finally arriving in this area.

So, please link one poem below.  Also stop in and say hello to us in the comments.  And, please visit other poets who link, as we all enjoy comments.  Have a nice Sunday / Monday!

    Hello - so much poetry this month.. A lot to read. I'm not writing a poem per day in April.., but many other months. I'm currently exploring sonnets deeper so this is what I offer here today.

      Must be beautiful, Claudia. Nothing too much beautifully blossoming just yet...the trees on my walk were the beginning, and after the long winter they did take my breath away.

      It is strange this time of year, isn't it? But we too some years in the past have experienced snow in April.

    Hello Everyone,

    Mary, how lovely to see spring sprouting in your neck of the woods! I'm certain you are enjoying all the sweet signs, each one, either subtle or strong, as it arrives on the scene. Thanks for the beautiful pics!

    Happy Sunday, and a wonderful week ahead,

    Sunday Greetings, Mary. I'm one of the stressed ones... all right, that's a bit of a lie. I am doing a poem a month, and it's a tad overwhelming but it hasn't stressed me out yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for it to stay that way until the 30th of April. And yes, I'm looking forward to my regular schedule. I'm certainly enjoying the poetry rush, but I do miss being able to enjoy one piece for a couple of days. ♥

    You may be aware of the xenophobic attacks which occurred in South Africa this week. Given the terror and bloodshed the world over, it may come as just another sign of the times in which we live, where conflict rages with little attempt at reconciliation. However, it would be remiss of me not to address the issue and share my thoughts. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity.

    Mary,

    I'm glad to have made my visit to The Pantry, as little earlier this week. Thank you for sharing your lovely photos of spring hopes in Wisconsin. Here in Cheshire, UK, we had hopes, but dashed by a cold weather arrival over the weekend.However, spring is in evidence!
    Happy New Week,
    Eileen
