The Tuesday Platform

Welcome to the Imaginary Garden ...




Greetings to all poets in this one month of the year dedicated to the art of poetry writing. I have been so inspired in the first 10 days, and I know that resolve may be flagging but taking a target-free approach has enabled me to enjoy the process without feeling pressured to keep a tally. I hope each person who is writing this month has a renewed sense of community thanks to the wonderful support of all those who have and will support our efforts in this space.

The Tuesday Platform sets no parameters for the poetry shared. You may want to share something written for earlier this week, a prompt you may have missed or wish to revisit or something from your archives. Anything goes.
However, in keeping with our prompt a day motto, I offer one small suggestion in the form of a question:

Has a song saved your life?

Use a song as the inspiration for your poem, take your title from the lyrics or add a link a song that saved your life.

P.S. I attended my daughter's graduation in which she attained her B.Soc.Sci. (Psych) on Monday and will be spending today away from home. Apologies in advance if I only get to read your poems later in the week.

  1. Your 'small suggestion' packed a punch! (And it's a good thing to get that poem written.)

  6. Congratulations to both of you, Kerry!

    I don't know if the song I picked saved my life, but it has certainly saved my day more than once!

  13. I wrote about music, but it is echoes of the 60's that seems to be current news. Congratulations to your daughter Kerry!!

  14. Loved this. Thank you. Will be around for some visits tomorrow morning. We're on spring break in Tahoe, and I'm also trying to juggle three or so daily prompts. ;)
