The Tuesday Platform

I've only just come across some amazing poetry written by Rupi Kaur. I love her style; simple yet rich. Take a look at these two pieces and see what you think.




Poetry Collection- The Sun & Her Flowers

the rain tried to imitate my hands
by running down your body
i ripped the sky apart for allowing that
Poetry Collection: Milk and Honey
if I knew what
safety looked like
I would have spent less time falling into
arms that were not
Greetings to all poets and friends and visitors….from a very chilly London! Winter is here and Christmas is coming..so Season's Greetings to one and all.
That said, I'd much rather sit by the fireplace reading poetry..and today, it's your poetry! Feel free to drop a line, a verse, a sonnet....anything you want to share with the universe and us, too and please, don’t forget to read/comment  on the works of your fellow poets.

Good morning from dreary Norfolk, Viv! Thank you for sharing the poems by Rupi Kaur - I love them too! I've posted a 'kind of' sonnet, which was inspired by this morning's lack of colour and the chill in the air.

Vivian Zems said...

@Kim...the weather in London isn't any better. I look forward to reading your sonnet.

@Ron- I can't seem to post a comment on your well-penned insomnia poem. Let me know if it's just me having this issue.

I still wish I were in London again. I miss our semi-annuaks. Was doing that for five years, twice a year. No more no. Been almost four years.
Nice poem. I felt goose bumps, thNk you.

I bought her books last year. A bit short, but some good writing. I hope she continues to hone her craft. xo
