It is that spiritual connection that makes a poet aware of the horrors and causes him or her to warn gently of what might be coming ahead. The question is as always, Is anybody listening?<br />Excellent post Denise.

However, there is some powerful, poignant timely stuff within your thoughtful post.<br /><br />I can relate to simple poetry. A lot of poetry just puzzles the heck out of me. That's why, when I succumbed to overwhelming demand, I actually wrote some simple poetry on Damyanti's site, way back when.<br /><br />Of course, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar, is an accomplished pawet with pawetry that makes you pawnder.<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-41900502881112081432016-09-01T04:06:08.058+10:002016-09-01T04:06:08.058+10:00I love poetry.

I also have poems delivered to my email by Poets.org. Poetry has always reflective and therapeutic. As well as soothing and entertaining. A poem can both hold mirrors to the world we live in, demanding change. Allows readers to take a peak into a reality different from what they live. Or provide laughter when you want to cry. I recently saw the new Apple commercial for the Olympics where Maya Angelou recites part of her poem "Human Family." The poem packs a powerful message in its simple reminder that we're not all different. Something, that's sad to say needs to be reinforced more of today. Here's the YouTube link to her full reading of the poem: https://youtu.be/5F_aHt34a-gLidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185947128989933152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-90911308284403954142016-09-01T02:35:03.795+10:002016-09-01T02:35:03.795+10:00Wow.

I LOVE these poems. I met Nilanjana through WEP Gardens topic. This poem is incredible. She is incredible with form ... incredibly skilled with rhyme. The power of repetition, of imagery. It is SO excellent. As is Maggie Smith's. The images are vivid, but she then uses repetition so subtly - "though I keep this from my children" - to twist the heart. I'm left stunned.<br /><br />Poetry will do it ... express thoughts that are "too deep for tears."<br /><br />Great post!Ann Carbine Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11948726603913621673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-858352254290334612016-08-31T15:00:06.545+10:002016-08-31T15:00:06.545+10:00I used to read a lot of poems.

I read your friend's poem about the Paris attacks and felt the tiny hairs on my arm grow fully erect. But as I listened to Serena's video account of "I Rise," that when the chills crawled up my spine and for the first time I truly felt touched by the powerful, evocative words of poetry. After reading you blog post today, I intend to give poetry another chance and this time I will actually pay more attention to the meaning and the words. I never realized how powerful and heartfelt poetry could be. Thanks for opening my eyes to this beautiful world or words, lyrics and art.Melissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.com
