The Tuesday Platform

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.

  2. Oops - '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.

  5. @Kerry, "Miranda"? I'm confused. Unless you are talking about Serenity *hehehe*.

    @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. :-)

  12. A poem from my past still fit this prompt perfectly. I hope you can hear me....

    I 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!

  13. It has been rather depressing. I've been feeling rather down and helpless to combat the recent viscous wickedness of fate.

    Fortunately, I can still disconnect from reality from time to time and dip into nostalgia and fantasy. Thank goodness for poetry.

  15. @Kim, some days, we just need a little Grimm (and by "we" I mean "me", of course. Yay! for juices doing their thing.

    @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.
