What can you help mend? Excerpt from
"Mending Mittens" by Larry Schug:
"Blessed be those who are forever fixing
the tear between people and the rest of life.
May we all have enough thread,
may our needles be sharp,
may our fingers not throb or go numb."

I'm working on another collection of poems on aging--more about appreciation than any mourning. My first roundup https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2023/10/it-beats-alternative-poems-on-growing.html.
Seeing the light! Back from a little get away with my sweet daughter.

Back from a mini get away with my daughter...
Just a lick of blue
will never do!

"Dangerous Coats"
by Sharon Owens
Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you & me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Made of pockets & sedition
Found thanks to @GrrlScientist.
Coping With The Oval Madman (Limerick)
http://www.madkane.com/madness/2025/03/06/coping-with-the-oval-madman-limerick/
Is the chewy center of America corporate?
Is monopoly our nougat, that corrupted caramel,
Full of externalities and hypocrisy,
Powering the United States'
Imperial aspirations?
Are we looking for the center of our fascist
Tootsie pop, or are we happy to crunch
A few heads regardless of who thinks
They're the middle?
sleepless dreamless night
listening for subtle sounds
frog at my window

The #VisualPoetry collection combines short poems with #digitalart illustrations intended to accentuate and amplify the topics of their accompanying poems. Sometimes it works well, sometimes not so much.
This one features a drawing of a pencil, drawn as if by a pencil, to illustrate a poem that uses a pencil and sharpener as a simile. Redundant? Anything to get the point across...

Excerpt from "The Word that Is a Prayer" by Ellery Akers
https://www.americanlifeinpoetry.org/columns/detail/312
"One thing you know when you say it:
all over the earth people are saying it with you;
a child blurting it out as the seizures take her,
a woman reciting it on a cot in a hospital."
no warmth in your voice
utterings as cold as snow
they are only words
#mastoprompt - warm
#dailyhaikuprompt - snow
ART Titled "Only Words"
Start your Friday with a celebration of words. "Saying Things" by Marilyn Krysl https://www.ayearofbeinghere.com/2013/02/marilyn-krysl-saying-things.html
"you feel your own voice
taking off like a swift, when you say a word you feel like
a gong that’s been struck, to speak is to step out of your skin,
stunned."
it's not just a sale
artists see it otherwise
future collector!
