Welcome to the third week of Stuff it Tuesday a blogging collaboration challenge for poets, writers, artists and photographers.

I offer the opening paragraph and the closing poem. I ask contributors to fill in the middle, I then link the story together as best as I can. I include all submissions.

I put the link to each persons submission below their piece so that you can check out their blog. Please show support and give the blogs a look to see if it’s something that interests you.

Something to think about.

Welcome, the poem, soon to be ‘spoken word’

I created this poem to perform as spoken word for my first Pay Day collaboration turning my Gravy Baby poem to song Introducing Ray the Musical Poet. It was to be my intro but I’m not nearly ready to attempt spoken word yet, it’s quite the challenge. If you don’t know much about spoken word I encourage you take a look.

I want to share the poem with you. I’m excited to get it ready to perform. This poem puts into word my passion for collaboration of the arts, to create something new.

Of our people

From our passions that burn with in

The belly of the earth

Limitless Time

I sometimes find myself reading other peoples poetry and not quite understanding what’s being said. Not quite getting the underlying message. I walk away puzzled, unsure if I properly understood what the author was trying to get across. Regardless, I always walk away thinking, pondering and thankful for the expression of thought and emotion.

I really enjoyed writing this poem, so I’m going to share it with you. I have been playing with the ideas of time, transition, elevation, thought, dimension and progression.

In between, places yet unseen

The Poem. This is where it all started. I took a chance, posted this one poem that I wrote in 2009 and you all encouraged me to continue to write poetry and here we are almost 2 months later and over 40 poems. Thank you for supporting and encouraging my writing. Jennifer

Have you ever felt in between?

Excited to be places yet unseen?

Embarking on a new or scary venture?

But knowing that it’s right?

That is how I have been feeling today.

Take courage my friends and trust in yourself and your intuition.

In honor of National poetry month, here is my one and only poem.

This was written during a time of pondering faith and science in Feb. 2009

In between

Heaven, earth
Creator, creation
faith, manipulation
joy, exasperation
Belief, trust
hardened crust
They’ve seen the light
about to take flight
to places unseen,
somewhere in between
Bipedalism, microorganisms
evolution, pollution
surreal, secular appeal
be like me, trinity
cross symbolism
fleshly heroism
Glorified Gods
isolated pods.
They’ve seen the light
about to take flight
to places never seen,
somewhere in between.
Knowledge
realities foliage
