Greetings, dear Toads. The world has been a bit of a mess lately. Nature has been upset for quite some time. And if that wasn’t enough, the ignorance and hatred-fueled recklessness of people continue to steal lives and maim living. We can’t deny the fact that things seem to be going from bleak to scream-worthy, but we can write and share. Words are no panacea, but some words can do wonders. Today, I invite you to “Howl your poetry into my bones.” I promise to howl back.
Feel free to use this image. The magnetic poetry and photography
are mine. The background is a page from Vampiros,
an anthology illustrated by Meritxell Ribas Puigmal.
Share a poem, any poem. Visit other Toads. Let’s find joy in words.
a.k.a. Miranda
ReplyDeleteAh... I had to post my poem from Buffyverse... do not know how many of you are fans.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday, everyone 💕
ReplyDeleteOops - 'Correct link' I say, when there wasn't an incorrect one this time. Oh well. And I am not howling about the state of the world, either; can't summon up anything more about that just now – I'm numbed.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone! I can't wait to read what everyone's written today. Whats Buffyverse - @ Bjorn?
ReplyDeletewhat a timely prompt - thank you for that and the chance to link up with other Tuesday poets
ReplyDelete@Kerry, "Miranda"? I'm confused. Unless you are talking about Serenity *hehehe*.
ReplyDelete@Bjorn, I'm looking forward to your Buffyverse poem.
@Sanaa, happiest day, to you!
@Rosemary, I'm right with you.
@Vivian, Bjorn is referring to Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
@Telltaletherapy, Poetry is like, I think--fits everywhere.
Off to read your poetic wholes and whispers and songs and such. :-)
@Kerry, Never mind. I just found Miranda (hooray!).
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late getting around to linking and reading today - I won't go into detail. :( But Magaly's Grimm poem has got the juices flowing and I'm ready to read.
ReplyDeleteMagaly girl.....owOOOoOoOooOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Rawroooooaooaooooooo !!!!!! HOWLin in the potree garden....
ReplyDeleteBack for another go-round, Toads!
ReplyDeleteMan oh man I'm having a hard time with losing Tom Petty
ReplyDeleteSwagger

Start your song with ah tsch

Uh huh
I am howling with joy at finally being able to be on the puter for more than 15 minutes at a time! Good to see you all again.
ReplyDeleteA poem from my past still fit this prompt perfectly. I hope you can hear me....
ReplyDeleteI will be around to read for the last write as well as this one. I'm reading today and can't wait! Have a nice week Toads! Hugs!
It has been rather depressing. I've been feeling rather down and helpless to combat the recent viscous wickedness of fate.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, I can still disconnect from reality from time to time and dip into nostalgia and fantasy. Thank goodness for poetry.
Hi guys!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for popping by my blog. I will try to visit too :)
@Kim, some days, we just need a little Grimm (and by "we" I mean "me", of course. Yay! for juices doing their thing.
ReplyDelete@Fireblossom, I heard you all the way in New York City!
@Timoteo, I'm still laughing.
@Marian, your howl so prettily.
@Toni, Good to read you, too.
@Bekkie, Your poem howls and screams (I hope the speaker gets to move, even run).
@The Bizza, Thank goodness for poetry and words and other people whiling to play along.
@Samyukatha, Read you around.
Mine is more of a mellow howl. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this prompt Magaly!!
ReplyDelete@Kerry, Your howl is just perfect.
ReplyDelete@Carrie, Thank you!
