Good Sunday, Poets!
Hope each one of you is enjoying a good weekend. This past week I was in New York City! What a busy place. I have shared a few photos above & can share more as time goes on. I must say that if anyone gets to New York City they should visit the National September 11 Museum. Very moving and sobering.
Do any of you have photos that you would like to share, ones that I could use in the Pantry? If so, let me know! Leave me a note in the comments perhaps.
Do stay tuned to Poets United this week. Sherry has prepared an interesting Poems-of-the-Week post for Monday, which features poems of three poets you know well. (Keeping you in suspense!) Don't miss it!
Susan has chosen the prompt 'Unity' for this Wednesday's Midweek Motif. And thinking of Susan, she will be taking a small break from Poets United (and poetry) to finally get the lumbar spine fusion surgery done that she had been contemplating for years. She expects to be back soon with a new outlook on the world. As her surgery is this coming week she would appreciate good thoughts and prayers. In Susan's absence, Midweek Motif will continue with Susan's prompts, Sumana's prompts, Sherry's prompts, and (yes) even mine! Smiles. Take care of yourself, Susan!
And Rosemary, of course, has another interesting The Living Dead/I wish I'd Written This feature on Friday! Don't miss this aspect of Poets United. Stop in on Friday to read and leave a few words.
If you have Facebook, do think about following Poets United on Facebook. That way you are informed of each new feature.

ReplyDeleteRe sharing the poem I shared last wednesday. However, i added another poem :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday everyone. Im on the beach now and will comment later
so fascinating photos Mary...specially the Statue of Liberty, enticing me to visit her...a very happy Sunday to you all, friends :)
ReplyDeleteI have a few photos I took from the ferry as well (can't believe the ride is FREE) I will be sharing them soon. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone! I am back and still awake, lol. Have been experiencing some sort of Poet's block but am glad I'm able to smile and write this one for today. Have a great Sunday everyone!
ReplyDeleteHello everyone,
ReplyDeleteHope you're all having a nice weekend :D sharing my poem "Ode to Grace" hope you all like it! Loved the pictures Mary, thanks for sharing them with us :D
I hope Susan is well.. and that her surgery will be successful.. she will remain in my prayers. Wishing her loads of love and warm wishes. Please take good care of yourself as you are very important to all of us.
Looking forward to Sherry's feature tomorrow! And hope to see you all on Wednesday for Midweek Motif :D
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Thank you!
DeleteVery wonderful photos, a reminder of how thankful we should be of life. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteSuch a touching post - each post dne here is always so interesting and warm. Would really like to participate more often but everytime I fear I don't have the time to comment I refrain from posting. A joy to be here though.
ReplyDeleteI so very much wish I would be able to comment on your poems!
Deletein the last week or two we have had much rain, many storms. i only wish we could tilt the earth's axis but for a moment and poor the standing rain water over to those in the west coast of the United States to squelch the fires and aridity. i also wish the bombs would stop, the wars would cease and the impoverished could be sated. but that's the way i am. have a wonderful sunday mi amigos y amigas
ReplyDeleteI echo that sentiment.
DeleteBy the way, your link is not working.
gracias, hopefully i corrected it
DeleteGood morning.
ReplyDeleteAs I told mary on her poem - I love New York.
So many places to see and visit.
Susan, I hope your surgery goes well.
Happy Sunday all, I will be around.
Thank you!
DeleteWonderful summer morning here! I will enjoy a bit of poetry, then church, then Armenian Fest, and then some more poetry. I love summer.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post with great images. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
These are amazing....funny how I live almost 5 hours away, but never get downstate much. Guess I'm more of a country girl. I do want to see the Memorial though.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful morning but very hot and humid here....not complaining though after our winter! Have a great day everyone and will be reading everyone's poetry later today.
I love the NY pictures Mary as I visited the city a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteSusan, I hope your surgery goes well ~
Happy Sunday everyone ~
Thank you, Grace.
DeleteHow quickly this Sunday seemed to come around! Luckily I have a poem to share. I love the New York photos, Mary; very striking.
ReplyDeleteLooking out the window of the pantry and I see NYNY wooza :-)
ReplyDeleteInvited to go sailing off of Hampton Beach NH today so I will check back in tonight and tomorrow for some excellent reading.

I always think it wondrous how pictures from home always make me smile. These are some lovely shots. ♥
ReplyDelete@Susan, you've been and continue to be in my prayers. I wish this surgery delivers what it has promised and more, and that you get relief from chronic pain.
Thank you, Magaly.
DeleteThanks for the wonderful photos, Mary. The 9/11 Memorial is amazing and demonstrates the spirit of the American people, who will rise up stronger than before after every attack. Susan, we will be thinking of you and sending healing energy your way. I am heading out at noon today myself, and will have very limited computer access till I return, (the worst thing about going away). Will catch up as I am able. Hope everyone has a great week.
ReplyDeleteThank you SHerry! All the wishes add up!
DeleteNew York is like the angles on the building - so multi-faceted and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday everyone!
Thanks for the pictures of New York, my hometown. Hope you had fun. It's nice to have you back though. Enjoy the week!
ReplyDeleteLovely NY pics.
ReplyDeleteUnity is much needed in this world.
Unity of our thoughts, mind & body is needed too. That's why we need to handle with care.
glad to be back. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the photos of NY, Mary.
Susan, i hope your surgery goes well, and have a speedy recovery.
Thank You!
DeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the photos you have shared of your visit to New York. Very impacting with the 9/11 Memorial tributes. I have yet to visit New York...
I have arrived just ahead of The Pantry closing time!
Best wishes to All,
Eileen
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteTruly enjoyed your scenes of NYC, Mary. Thanks for all the notes and for directing me here to see all the well wishes. How wonderful! I take you all with me.
