Cyber Eyes, a poem of gratitude
This journey has been so fulfilling for me. I am so thankful to have found my ‘voice’ and even more so that you all want to hear it. I was going to keep this post for tomorrow (It will be my one month blogging anniversary!) But I don’t want to wait.
I noticed a comment on my blog today from heresnews She mentioned that she would have her ‘cyber eyes’ on me and it sparked the passion for this poem. Take a moment to check out her blog. Please remember to take the time to write the things that you are thinking when you read peoples work. It makes the world of difference to the person (myself included) to know that you have read what they wrote.
Thank you all for being such a great source of inspiration and encouragement to me. And…… the poem. Continue reading
Night lights, city streets
I love being on the road. Long drives. New places and destinations to explore.
It’s always exciting to arrive at the destination but the journey, the time spent getting there is my favorite part.
Some of the most engaging conversations I have had have been while on the road, with both young and old.
While on our way to the Eastern townships in Quebec this weekend we drove through Montreal.
While looking out the window I was inspired to write.
A poem of all things.
The words just came. Continue reading
Antique set
I was sitting at my make up table this morning getting ready for the day and I was inspired to write, yet again.
It comes on like a song that keeps repeating itself until you finally sing and dance to it then maybe, just maybe it will pass and leave you be.
I think my mind has turned into poetry.
Such a different perspective. Photographers have lenses, they can adjust and use to alter a frame. As a writer I never heard the song of poetry, as I focused on fact and insight, intellect.
Now everything has song and beauty to it.
All of my thoughts become poetry.
I think differently lately.
I see differently lately.
I am different lately. Continue reading
Him
I’m going with him
I can’t stop my grin
My smurk
The way my knees jerk
When I think of him
I get all jittery
Like a 30’s jitterbug

Exposed
As I lay in the sun
With it’s rays on my back
It penetrates my soul,
Enlightens
My enlightenment
Shimmering
Aglow
My spirit and my words
Combine to flow.
Week #4 info Weekly Stuff it ‘Storetry’ Challenge, for poets and writers! Come and Join Us!
So I have come up with a weekly collaboration idea! I challenge you as writers and poets to “stuff” my opening and closing paragraphs with a written paragraph of no more than 5 sentences or a poetry verse of 6 lines that would fit as the “stuffing” of the story.
Take your time and think about it so you have a lead in and a lead out of your paragraph or verse so that I can link it all together. I will also link each contribution to your blog so we can all showcase what we have to offer and take a peek at the submissions we love.
Keep it true to your style and flare but remember nothing over a PG rating please.
I will also add 4 photographs into the ‘storetry’. Please submit poems, writings and photos to writingsofamrs@outlook.com with Stuff it Poem, Stuff it paragraph or Stuff it Photo in the subject line.
Submissions must be received by 4:00pm eastern time by the Monday before the Stuff it Tuesday.
All submissions will be used. Look below for this weeks Stuff it.
Time for this weeks Stuff it Tuesday Collaboration. This one is a little more challenging!
Opening:
He awoke to the dripping sounds of the rain. He slowly stirred and turned over to lay on his stomach and peered out the raggedy opening of the window in his hut. It had been two weeks now that he had been staying in this filthy, wet hut. As he stared off into the rainy sky in wonderment of the journey that had led him here.
Closing :
The mud squishing between his toes
The villagers and grass huts lined in rows
He looked back
A foreigner in a foreign land
His destruction led by his own people’s hand.
Check out the past 3 weeks here!

Night time words to live by
” Words are a powerful tool. You can use them to build beautiful structures but you can also use them to demolish and tear things down. Think about how you chose to use your tools. ”

The Buoy

Like a Buoy
Tossing to and fro
Thrashing crashing
In the mashing of waves
Of sound
And of time
Slipping leaving
Behind a life bound
Like buoy
Like a bobbing toy Continue reading
