Poetry Pantry #310

Sweden Midsummer
By Bjorn Rudberg

Evening Clouds After the Rain

Lulled By Reflections

Midsummer Night

Waiting by the Shore

Bowing the Old Pine Tree Pines


What beautiful photographs Bjorn has shared with us today.  I imagine it is wonderful to be in Sweden at Midsummer when there are SOOOO many hours of daylight. And thinking of Bjorn, Sherry has an update interview with him tomorrow.  Something to look forward to, I think.  So be sure to come back & enjoy.

Yesterday Rosemary shared a delightful poem that many dog lovers (and perhaps cat lovers as well) will enjoy.  Read After, a poem by Lisa Brockwell, if you have not had the opportunity to do so yet.

This week Sumana has the prompt "absence" for her Midweek Motif.  A relevant prompt, especially in summer perhaps, when many of us have vacations or other diversions that might play a part in our absence from the poetry blogosphere.

With no further delay, let's share poetry & connection - appreciating one another's words while we can (thinking of the recent death of poet Viv Blake here). Post your link below, and visit the poems of others on this summer (winter in southern hemisphere - smiles) day!

  9. almost the land of the midnight sun but Bjorn's muse never seems to set.
    Have been away a while from the Pantry not least because as a WordPresser it's so convoluted trying to comment on a blogger platform via all the verification validating - just adds even more time to the time I already spend enjoying the poems!

  17. Over the past few years, the injustices done, to the Afro-American and Canadians, has been coming to light, but hidden behind this spotlight, is the transphobic streak, within the various police forces, across North America. Today, am sharing my own experience with a Peel Regional police officer, from 10 years ago. Sadly, as a result of this experience, I can relate to what they're going through, on a daily basis.

    Bjorn, those are gorgeous photos.

  18. What beautiful photos! Bjorn is not only a wonderful poet, but a super photographer. I look forward to Sherry's interview tomorrow.
    I'll be catching up with everyone throughout the day and tomorrow morning. Thank you Mary.

  19. Oh! I hadn't heard about Viv. So sad to learn of her passing.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yes, Viv's passing is so sad. It is always sad to lose a poet from the blogosphere. Thankfully her poems live on. She was one of our early members in 2010. Bjorn, your photos are so beautiful. Those skies are incredible. Thanks, Mary, for hosting. I shall dip in and out through the day.

  22. Hello All. I so enjoyed Lisa Brockwell's poem, After. A wonderful piece showing a beautiful connection between a dog and its human soul mate.
    Bjorn, thanks for sharing your beautiful images, it's good to see land and waterscape photographs from other countries.

  23. Wonderful photographs, Bjorn. Art gallery, worthy. You have captured the evocative peace to be found in an untainted country side. Lovely!

  24. It's a while ago that I posted here, but I thought maybe this week I can post here one of the episode which I wrote about Finland while on a Europe Ginko.

  25. Brilliant Photos, Bjorn!

    I haven't had a lot of time to place the comments I want, but what I have read today has been brilliant, It seems this summer as given a lot of inspiration. :). I hope to catch up later. Have a great week!

  26. Shoot! I missed the linky expiration by 30 minutes. Nevertheless, I have posted a poem called "On Hiatus," and I do thank you for the prompt. 😊

  27. I didn't even try to link this week! I have a new baby kitten to train, my roommate started a new job I must drive and pick him up at Bart during the week and more. I can barely work in my bike rides!

    I want to say I'm sorry I've been absent from reading and commenting this past week. I don't know if I can catch up but I will be better going forward. I haven't been writing (at any sites) but will try to join up on Wed.

    I miss writing even when I'm this busy and am missing all the conversations on our poems. I hope everyone has a good week!

    Sherry I so enjoyed your interview with Bjorn!

    Hugs! Bekkie
