The Tuesday Platform


Summer-kissed greetings, my dear Toads. Since Rommy is busy readying her eldest for his first year of college freshmanhood, I’ve taken a wee break from my hosting hiatus to fill in for her.

On this summery Tuesday (I might be drunk on summer *don’t tell*) let us share a new poem, or an old poem, or a screaming poem, or a summer-kissed poem, or… well, any poem you like.

As one of our very own poets sagely suggests, in her Dirt Road Dreams:
“Life is a poem
just waiting to be written,
lift your pen and speak.”



Please add the direct link to your poem to Mr. Linky. Visit other Toads. Speak summer poetry.

  2. Or ramble from summer shade beside the pool. Telling tales of ins and outs.

  6. Hey poets, it's been a while since I last linked. I hope everyone is doing well. I look forward to reading the many diverse expressions I have had come to love and admire.

  7. My poem is a late reply to Karin's Walt Whitman prompt.

    Thank you for being our gracious host today, Magaly. It is always a treat to partake of your positive energy! And thank you for sharing Susie's words.
    Hooray for the toads!

  8. @Jim, It was a rather fun ramble.

    @Jinksy, The second link worked. And I deleted the first. Thank you!

    @Marian, Summer-kissed and cucumber at the ready! ;-D

    @HowAnxious, Welcome back.

    @Kerry, I feel the urge to memorize a stanza or three of your poem, just so that I can recite them at pokers and probers during my next sleepover.

  9. I haven't been here in a while. I posted my poem, 'Tree Memory' about losing my favorite summer shade tree eight years ago. I still miss it... xo
