Greetings, Poets! On this first day of a brand new year, we wish you a wonderful year of sharing the joy of poetry. We hope you enjoyed a festive holiday season with your loved ones, and are renewed in body and spirit. It is lovely to be back, and sharpening our quills.
We're looking forward to reading what the Pantry has for us today. And do come back tomorrow for our Life of a Poet series: an interview with Heather Sawaya. We think you will find it very interesting. On Wednesday, Susan has a timely topic for Midweek Motif: Vision, a perfect subject for the beginning of a new year. And Rosemary has an incredible share on Friday for I Wish I'd Written This. I peeked, and it is very special. Don't miss it!
Now, you know what to do. Link your poem, and say hi in the comments. Do make visits to your fellow poets, in the spirit of reciprocity. And, most of all, Enjoy Poetry!
Happy New Year everyone...have a wonderful time ahead :)
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to all you wonderful poets, looking forward to a great year of reading and sharing poetry.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR! I'll be popping around on Sunday to visit posts. Looking forward to more great poetry in 2017!
ReplyDeleteWishing all patrons of Poets United a Happy New Year. I hope all will find inspiration to continue to be the voices of the people from all our many corners of the world.
ReplyDeleteKerry, what a great reminder of the possibilities of poetry!
DeleteHappy New Year, Everyone!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to all out there .Looking forward to being more active this year :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to all - may it be a bright one
ReplyDeleteQuills? People are still writing with quills? No matter, just as long as they are writing. Happy 2017, everyone!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, everyone!
ReplyDeletegood to be back posting. :)
Happy New Year! Just a little something to suit the spirit of the day.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Friends! It's a brand new year, and I am traveling today to my beloved Tofino and the wild winter waves. I will make the rounds to everyone, but may be late getting around to some. Looking forward to a brand new year of poetry.
ReplyDeleteI'm not putting my link in the linky until I come back ready for the feast of you! I have Meeting for Worship, a Care and Council committee meeting and two pot-luck open houses before then--also feasts--and I may not make it through all of that before I return. Usually New Year's Day is a restful one for me, filled with the Philadelphia Mummers Parade either live or on TV. Today, I have the energy to try and show up! I'm more than happy for that, as it promises to make 2017 a better year.
ReplyDeleteLove to Poets United!
See you later.

ReplyDeleteHey everyone,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year 2017!❤️ Gosh its been so busy during the holidays that it completely slipped my mind to check into poetry pantry! Good thing I arrived in time. Thank you for hosting us Sherry, feels good to be back! Sharing my poem Year (in motion) hope you all like it❤️
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Oh goodness, I go to bed late without checking the computer again, and when I wake up, everybody's here! Happy New Year to you all, nice to see you, and I look forward to reading you (just as soon as I get coffee and a bite of breakfast).
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year everyone, my poem says it best. I can't wait to read what everyone has for today! I also wrote a new post for Bike With Bekkie if anyone is interested.
ReplyDeleteLast year was good for me in every way but economically and you know what that means, it messes up your life when you can't get a job that pays enough money to survive. I have never had such a dichotomy in my life and it scares me. Things could still turn around I have hopes.
My biking keeps me from being depressed so I'm in a really strange place right now. Lol! I didn't say a bad place, probably a good writing place.
I've had enough turkey for this year, who's with me?
I love you guys! I've never felt so close to people as with this group although some of you have been with my other writing groups and it's been a long relationship of poetry. It's a wonderful feeling to have such friends of all of you!
Hugs! Bekkie
Oh my goodness, you guys......the cabin we rented is right ON the beach....it was sunny all day, we had a great sunset........sigh. it is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news...may it sustain you for a while...Keep plotting of ways to return as much as possible.
DeleteA Happy New Year to everyone. This place is a little patch of peace and respite from the murky turmoiled world. I cherish it and am pleased to return.
