The Thursday Think Tank - #24 Wings

This week’s prompt is wings. What would you do if you had wings? When you think of wings do you see them on Angels, Doves or Demons? Does your heart take flight when it’s in love? So much can be said and written about something as simple as soft feathery wings. Are there fairies in your garden? Do you miss the fact that there are so few fireflies? Wings can mean so many things to so many people; we want to see what they inspire in you to write. We look forward to your pen and imagination taking flight and can’t wait to see what you offer for us to read in this week’s Think Tank.

The Life of a Poet - Ninot Aziz

Written by Robert Lloyd

Have you ever meet a person, where after no more than 10 minutes, you have complete adoration and respect for them?  I recently did when I took the time to sit down and shape my most recent interview.  This week for our The Life of a Poet Interview I was lucky to have a wonderful back forth exchange with Zalina Abdul Aziz, known to us at Poets United as Ninot Aziz. 


Laura Schlessinger said “The people and circumstances around me do not make me what I am, they reveal who I am” I think is a wonderful way to start off introducing you to Nino.  She is the strong, intelligent writer and poet who offers us the blog Poems by Nino Taziz.  Nino was born in Hobart Tasmania, Australia and currently lives in Malaysia.  When asked what she loves the most about her life she simply and easily responds.  “The light of my life; Iman, Inas, Irani, Ilena and Little Ikesha.”  She has a loving husband and five wonderful children that inspire her poetry and she doesn’t mind sharing a small bit of that inspiration with others
