The Tuesday Platform




Greetings to all poets, wayfarers and friends. I came across this wonderful reading of 'Ode to Broken Things' by Pablo Neruda and couldn't resist sharing it with you guys. Sigh.. living near the equator is a different experience altogether as the weather here is hot and humid; apart from the average rainfall which is two hundred and fifty centimeters in a year. I often long for winter as the days go by, and find myself missing the tingling sensation of cold weather, warmth of coffee and woolen socks.

On a lighter note, it's Thanksgiving on Thursday! Wishing you all a blessed day, full of joy and light! I am thankful this year, for the company of good friends, and to be part of this incredibly creative and gracious blogosphere. 

If you have any thoughts to share, ideas you wish to release into the wild or a world view to express, then you have come to the right place. Please share a poem of your choice and enjoy the company of your fellow scribes. We look forward to reading you and hope you have a wonderful day.

  7. This is one of my favorite of Neruda! Happy Tuesday to the Toads! A new poem from me. And it really isn't solemn despite the name.

  8. Hello, wonderful friends. I too adore that Neruda poem and thank you for sharing it, Sanaa. :)
    This month is so crazy for me! I feel quite invigorated by my challenge to write a poem each day, and am inspired by my kids who are drawing every day. I have been slow to visit all of you each day but never fear, I am here and will be around. Feel free to stop by the runaway sentence for some craziness, poetry and a few drawings, too.
    Hope you all are well! I am thankful for each and every one of you and for this community! xoxoxoxo Marian
